dc.description.abstract | **Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Based on a decomposition of mean absolute error, a twofold technique is introduced whereby a pairwise comparison of point estimators of reliability/survivability can be made. Given two such estimators, the method examines (a) the "odds" in favor of one of the estimators being closer to the true value than is the other and (b) each estimator's average closeness to the true value not only when it is closer than is the other but also when it is not. Joint consideration of these concepts is shown to form a basis for determining which of the two estimators is preferred in a given situation. An application of the theory is made by comparing the maximum likelihood and minimum variance unbiased estimators of reliability/survivability in the exponential failure model. | en |
