Reliability from Damaged Stress and Strength Data

In case of stress-strength reliability R = P(X > Y), inference is made under various assumptions regarding the variables X and Y. In reality instead of observing X and Y one observes U and V which imply stress and strength subject to some sort of errors. In this article, procedures have been Indicated to estimate true reliability using U and V values under the assumption of exponentiality. Over and/or under-reporting has been treated generally as damage.
