Abstract: Two families of test statistics for testing the null hypothesis of exponentiality against Harmonic New Better than Used in Expectation (HNBUE) alternatives are proposed. Asymptotic distributions of the test statistics are derived under the null and alternative hypotheses and the consistency of the tests established. Comparison with competing tests are made in terms of Pitman Asymptotic Relative Efficiency (PARE). Simulation studies have been carried out to assess the performance of the tests. Finally, the test has been applied to three real life data sets described in Proschan, Susarla and Van Ryzin and Engelhardt, Bain and Wright.
