Stress-strength Model And Its Generalizations, The: Theory And Applications

This important book presents developments in a remarkable field of inquiry in statistical/probability theory — the stress-strength model.Many papers in the field include the enigmatic “words” P(X<Y) — or something similar — in the title. This reflects the long-established concept of ordering of distributions. The basic impetus for the study carried out by the authors of this book is the general concept of stress-strength as an interpretation of the P(X<Y) relationships, which leads to appl
