Abstract

In this paper, is derived the reliability of n-cascade stress-strength system model  based on the Gumbel Type- 2 Distribution (GT-2) with unknown parameter λ and known parameters β , for probability of n- components having strengths Y between two stresses X and Z .In the Gumbel Type- 2 Distribution ,there are six methods of parameters and this system reliability estimators where  discussed  by using the Maximum Likelihood, Moments Method, Least Square Method, Weighted Least Square Method , Regression and Percentile ,based estimators on the  simulation  technique , these estimates are compared  by the mean square error criteria for both small, medium and large samples .It has been concluded  that the maximum likelihood  estimator performs better than all the  options considered.
