Statistics & Probability Letters, 2017, vol. 129, issue C, 58-64

Abstract: A family of test statistics for testing exponentiality against HNBUE alternatives is proposed. Asymptotic distributions of the test statistics are derived under the null and alternative hypotheses and consistency of the test is established. Comparison with competing tests, power studies and applications to real life data sets have been carried out.
