Estimation of P(Y

Estimation of P(Y

Three point estimators and two interval estimators of P (Y < X) arederived when X and Y are independent Lévy random variables. Theirperformance with respect to relative biases, relative mean squared errors, coverage probabilities, and coverage lengths is assessed by simulation studies and a real data application
