Popis: The stress–strength parameter $$R = P(Y < X)$$ , as a reliability parameter, is considered in different statistical distributions. In the present paper, the stress–strength reliability is estimated based on progressively type II censored samples, in which $$X$$ and $$Y$$ are two independent random variables with inverse Gaussian distributions. The maximum likelihood estimate of $$R$$ via expectation–maximization algorithm and the Bayes estimate of $$R$$ are obtained. Furthermore, we obtain the bootstrap confidence intervals, HPD credible interval and confidence intervals based on generalized pivotal quantity for $$R$$ . Additionally, the performance of point estimators and confidence intervals are evaluated by a simulation study. Finally, the proposed methods are conducted on a set of real data for illustrative purposes.
