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.

Bivariate copulas play a central role in modeling the dependence structure between two random variables and serve as a fundamental tool in various applied fields. In this article, we develop a new theoretical framework aimed at constructing simple asymmetric bivariate copulas of the form C ( u , v ) = u v [ ϕ ( v ) + u ( 1 ϕ ( v ) ) ] , ( u , v ) [ 0 , 1 ] 2 . This framework relies on a tuning univariate function to achieve the desired asymmetry. We study this pioneering scheme, emphasizing its theoretical foundations, and illustrating it with several examples. More precisely, we establish important properties of the proposed copulas and derive analytical expressions for concordance measures such as Spearman's rho, Kendall's tau, Gini's gamma, and Blomqvist's beta. In addition, we investigate the estimation procedure for the dependence parameter using the maximum likelihood approach. Finally, we conduct a simulation study to evaluate the performance of the proposed estimator. A real climatological dataset from the city of Abu Dhabi is used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed copulas, with very convincing results.
