Abstract

A test is proposed to test that a life distribution is multivariate exponential (MVE) against the alternative that it is multivariate new better than used (MNBU) class of alternatives. We also show that the proposed test is consistent for the alternatives of multivariate new better than used in expectations (MNBUE).
