Abstract: Abstract Estimating the reliability of multicomponent systems is crucial in various engineering and reliability analysis applications. This paper investigates the multicomponent stress strength reliability estimation using lower record values, specifically for the exponentiated Pareto distribution. We compare classical estimation techniques, such as maximum likelihood estimation, with Bayesian estimation methods. Under Bayesian estimation, we employ Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques and Tierney–Kadane’s approximation to obtain the posterior distribution of the reliability parameter. To evaluate the performance of the proposed estimation approaches, we conduct a comprehensive simulation study, considering various system configurations and sample sizes. Additionally, we analyze real data to illustrate the practical applicability of our methods. The proposed methodologies provide valuable insights for engineers and reliability analysts in accurately assessing the reliability of multicomponent systems using lower record values.
