INFERENCE ON P(X < Y ) FOR EXPONENTIATED FAMILY OF DISTRIBUTIONS

Inference on R = P(X &lt; Y ) has been considered when X and Y belong to independent exponentiated family of distributions. Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE), Uniformly Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator (UMVUE) and Bayes Estimator of R has been derived and compared through simulation study. Exact and approximate confidence intervals and Bayesian credible intervals have also been derived
