1 RELIABILITY FOR SOME BIVARIATE BETA DISTRIBUTIONS SARALEES NADARAJAH Received 24 June 24 In the area of stress-strength models there has been a large amount of work as regards estimation of the reliability PrX <Y). The algebraic form for PrX <Y)has been worked out for the vast majority of the well-known distributions when X and Y are independent random variables belonging to the same univariate family. In this paper, we consider forms of R when X,Y) follows a bivariate distribution with dependence between X and Y. In particular, we derive eplicit epressions for R when the joint distribution is bivariate beta. The calculations involve the use of special functions. 1. Introduction Bivariate beta distributions are tractable lifetime models in many areas, including life testing and telecommunications. In the contet of reliability, the stress-strength model describes the life of a component which has a random strength Y and is subjected to random stress X. The component fails at the instant that the stress applied to it eceeds the strength and the component will function satisfactorily whenever Y>X.Thus, PrX <Y) is a measure of component reliability. It has many applications especially in engineering concepts, such as structures, deterioration of rocket motors, static fatigue of ceramic components, fatigue failure of aircraft structures, and the aging of concrete pressure vessels. Two eamples are i) the receptor of a communication system operates only if it is stimulated by a source where magnitude Y is greater than a random lower threshold X for the system. In this case, R is the probability that the receptor operates, ii) if X and Y are future observations on the stability of an engineering design, then R would be predictive probability that X is less than Y. Similarly, if X and Y represent lifetimes of two electronic devices, then R is the probability that one fails before the other. Because of these applications, the calculation and the estimation of PrX <Y)isimportant for the class of bivariate beta distributions. The calculation of R has been etensively investigated in the literature when X and Y are independent random variables belonging to the same univariate family of distributions. The algebraic form for R has been Copyright 25 Hindawi Publishing Corporation Mathematical Problems in Engineering 25:1 25) DOI: /MPE.25.11
2 12 Reliability for some bivariate beta distributions worked out for the majority of the well-known distributions, including normal, uniform, eponential, gamma, beta, etreme value, Weibull, Laplace, logistic, and the Pareto distributions Nadarajah [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]; Nadarajah and Kotz [1]). In this paper, we calculate R when X and Y are dependent random variables from five fleible families of bivariate beta distributions. We will assume throughout this paper that X,Y) has a bivariate beta distribution with joint probability density function pdf) f and joint survivor function F. Onecanwrite f, y)dyd. 1.1) Our calculations of R make use of a number of special functions. They are the incomplete beta function ratio defined by I a,b) = 1 t a 1 1 t) b 1 dt; 1.2) Ba,b) the Gauss hypergeometric function 2 F 1 )definedby 2F 1 a,b;c;) = k= a) k b) k c) k and, the generalized hypergeometric function 3 F 2 )definedby 2F 2 a,b,c;d,e;) = k= a) k b) k c) k d) k e) k k k! ; 1.3) k k!, 1.4) where f ) k = f f +1) f + k 1) denotes the ascending factorial. The properties of these special functions being used can be found in [2, 11, 12, 13]. 2. Dirichlet distribution Dirichlet distribution has the joint pdf specified by f, y) = K a 1 y b 1 1 y) c 1 2.1) for, y, + y 1, a>, b>, and c>, where Γa + b + c) K = Γa)Γb)Γc). 2.2) The reliability in 1.1) can be epressed as 1 K a 1 = K = KBc,b) a 1 1 ) b+c 1 1 y b 1 1 y) c 1 dyd /1 ) z b 1 1 z) c 1 dzd a 1 1 ) b+c 1 I 1 2)/1 ) c,b)d, 2.3)

If b is an integer, then, by using the property it follows from 2.3)that I z α,b) = b Γα + i 1) Γα)Γi) zα 1 z) i 1, 2.7) KBc,b) = KBc,b) b = KBc,b)2 1 a b a 1 1 ) b+c 1 b Γc + i 1) Γc)Γi) Γc + i 1) 1/2 a 1 1 ) b i 1 2) c d Γc)Γi) = KBc,b)2 1 a b = KBc,b)2 1 a b = KBc,b)2 1 a b ) 1 2 c ) i 1 d 1 1 Γc + i 1) 1 2 i y i+a 2 1 y) c 1 y ) b i dy Γc)Γi) 2 Γc + i 1) 1 b i ) 2 i y i+a 2 1 y) c ) b i y k 1) k dy Γc)Γi) k 2 k= b i ) b i 1) k Γc + i 1) 1 k 2 k= i+k y i+k+a 2 1 y) c dy Γc)Γi) b i ) b i 1) k Γi + c 1)Γi + k + a 1) k 2 i+k, Γi + k + a + c 1)Γi) k= 2.8) where the transformation y = 2 has been applied. Thus, for integer values of b, one can epress R as a finite sum of elementary functions. On the other hand, if c is an integer,
