Abstract
It is important in many reliability applications to determine the probability that the failure time of an element from one population will exceed that of an element from a second population. In this paper, we present a method for computer calculations of Pr {x ⩾ y} where X and Y are each from a three-parameter Weibull distribution. In addition, we provide the moments and the probability density function of the difference. Numerical examples are included.
