In this article, we have developed the discrete version of the continuous inverted Nadarajah-Haghighi distribution and called it a discrete inverted Nadarajah-Haghighi distribution. The present model is well enough to model not only the over-dispersed and positively skewed data but it can also model upside-down bathtub-shaped, decreasing failure rate, and randomly right-censored data. Here, we have developed some important statistical properties for the proposed model such as quantile, median, moments, skewness, kurtosis, index of dispersion, entropy, expected inactivity time function, stress-strength reliability, and order statistics. We have estimated the model parameters through the method of maximum likelihood under complete and censored data. An algorithm to generate randomly right-censored data from the proposed model is also presented. The extensive simulation studies are presented to test the behavior of the estimators with complete and censored data. Finally, two complete and two censored data are used to illustrate the utility of the proposed model.
<abstract><p>The subject matter described herein includes the analysis of the stress-strength reliability of the system, in which the discrete strength of the system is impacted by two random discrete stresses. The reliability function of such systems is denoted by $ R = P[Y < X < Z] $, where $ X $ is the strength of the system and $ Y $ and $ Z $ are the stresses. We look at how $ X $, $ Y $ and $ Z $ fit into a well-known discrete distribution known as the geometric distribution. The stress-strength reliability of this form is not widely studied in the current literature, and research in this area has only considered the scenario when the strength and stress variables follow a continuous distribution, although it is essentially nil in the case of discrete stress and strength. There are numerous applications wherein a system is exposed to external stress, and its functionality depends on whether its intrinsic physical strength falls within specific stress limits. Furthermore, the continuous measurement of stress and strength variables presents inherent difficulties and inconveniences in such scenarios. For the suggested distribution, we obtain the maximum likelihood estimate of the variable $ R $, as well as its asymptotic distribution and confidence interval. Additionally, in the classical setup, we find the boot-p and boot-t confidence intervals for $ R $. In the Bayesian setup, we utilize the widely recognized Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique and the Lindley approximation method to find the Bayes estimate of $ R $ under the squared error loss function. A Monte Carlo simulation study and real data analysis are demonstrated to show the applicability of the suggested model in the real world.</p></abstract>
