Nonparametric methods for 1-out-of-2: G repairable systems

The steady state availability of 1-out-of-2 : G repairable system is obtained under the assumption that the life time of a component in standby position follows exponential distribution. It's nonparmetric estimator is proposed. The asymptotic properties of the estimator are used to provide the fixed width coinfience interval with specified coverage probability and testing of hypothesis problem using sequential procedure.
