Abstract: In the present paper, a non-parametric test is developed to test exponentiality using mean residual quantile function. Asymptotic distribution of the test statistic is derived. Simulation studies are carried out to assess the efficiency of the test. We also compare the power of the proposed test with the existing tests. We apply the proposed test to two real life data sets.
