Abstract

In this paper, we consider the series and parallel system which include two components. We assume that the lifetimes of two components follow the bivariate Pareto model with random censored data. We obtain the estimators and approximated confidence intervals of the reliabilities for series and parallel systems based on maximum likelihood estimator and the relative frequency, respectively. Also we present a numerical example by giving a data set which is generated by computer.
