A note on some test statistics against HNBUE

  • Published:
Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Some comments and extensions are given to the paper on statistics for testing exponentiality against the HNBUEE property (i.e.\(\int_t^\infty {\bar F(x)dx} \) ≦μ exp(−t/μ),t≧0) by Basu and Ebrahimi
