Abstract

In this paper, we consider two components system which the lifetimes follow bivariate pareto model with bivariate random censored data. We assume that the censoring times are independent of the lifetimes of the two components. We develop large sample test for testing independence between two components. Also we present a simulation study which is the test based on asymptotic normal distribution in testing independence.
