| Abstract: | This important book presents developments in a remarkable field of inquiry in statistical/probability theory — the stress-strength model.Many papers in the field include the enigmatic “words” P(X<Y) — or something similar — in the title. This reflects the long-established concept of ordering of distributions. The basic impetus for the study carried out by the authors of this book is the general concept of stress-strength as an interpretation of the P(X<Y) relationships, which leads to applications in reliability engineering, economics and modern medicine.The Stress-Strength Model and Its Generalizations collects and digests theoretical and practical results on the theory and applications of the stress-strength relationships in industrial and economic systems — results that have been scattered in the literature during the last 40-odd years — and augments and presents them for the first time in a unified manner suitable for practitioners as well as probabilists and theoretical and applied statisticians. |
