Abstract: The exponential distribution has been used in life-testing and reliability studies. In this article, we first express the entropy of Type-I hybrid censoring scheme in terms of hazard function and provide an estimate of the entropy of Type-I hybrid censored data. Then, we construct a goodness-of-fit test statistic based on Kullback–Leibler information for Type-I hybrid censored data. The test statistic is used to test for exponentiality. A Monte Carlo simulation is conducted to obtain the power of the proposed test against various alternatives. Finally, a data example is presented for illustrative purpose.
