Bounds on Reliability
The reliability of the two-parameter exponential distribution is:


 * $$\hat{R}(t;\hat{\lambda })={{e}^{-\hat{\lambda }(t-\hat{\gamma })}}$$

The corresponding confidence bounds are estimated from:


 * $$\begin{align}

& {{R}_{L}}= & {{e}^{-{{\lambda }_{U}}(t-\hat{\gamma })}} \\ & {{R}_{U}}= & {{e}^{-{{\lambda }_{L}}(t-\hat{\gamma })}} \end{align}$$

These equations hold true for the one-parameter exponential distribution, with $$\gamma =0$$.
