Abstract:
This thesis deals with the estimation of reliability and hazard rate for exponential
distribution from a decision theoretic point of view. In Chapter 1, we give a detailed
review of the existing literature on the following problems : (i) estimation of the reliability
function, (ii) estimating the hazard rate function, (iii) estimation of reliability in stress
strength models, and (iv) estimation of reliability and hazard rate function of a selected
component.
