Abstract :Stress-strength models are considered of great significance due to their applicability in varied fields. We address the estimation of the system reliability of a multicomponent stress-strength model, say Rs,k, of an s out of k system when the pair stress and strengths are drawn from a generalized inverted exponential distribution. The system is deemed as working if at least s out of k strengths be more than its stress. We obtain the reliability estimators when the data of strength and stress distributions are collected from three sampling schemes, specifically; simple random sampling, ranked set sampling, and median ranked set sampling. We obtain four estimators of Rs,k out from median ranked set sampling. The behavior of different estimates is examined via a simulation study based on mean squared errors and efficiencies. The simulation studies point out that the reliability estimates of Rs,k, from the ranked set sampling scheme are preferred than other estimates picked from the simple random sample and median ranked set sampling in a majority of the situations. The theoretical studies are explained with the aid of real data analysis.
