An ‘apples to apples’ comparison of various tests for exponentiality
(Springer, 2017)The exponential distribution is a popular model both in practice and in theoretical work. As a result, a multitude of tests based on varied characterisations have been developed for testing the hypothesis that observed ... -
A class of goodness-of-fit tests based on a new characterization of the exponential distribution
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)A new characterisation of the exponential distribution in the class of new better than used in expectation (NBUE) life distributions is presented. Utilising this characterisation, a new class of goodness-of-fit tests for ... -
New tests for exponentiality against new better than used in pth quantile
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)A new characterisation of the exponential distribution in a wide class of new better than used in pth quantile (NBUp) lifetime distributions is presented. This leads to new classes of scale-free goodness-of-fit tests for ... -
On a data-dependent choice of the tuning parameter appearing in certain goodness-of-fit tests
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)We propose a data-dependent method for choosing the tuning parameter appearing in many recently developed goodness-of-fit test statistics. The new method, based on the bootstrap, is applicable to a class of distributions ...
