Abstract

Test statistic is derived for testing exponentiality against exponential better (worse) than used in convex EBUC (EWUC). Selected critical values are tabulated for sample size n=5(1)25(5) 50. The power calculations of the test are simulated for some commonly used distributions in reliability. The Pitman asymptotic relative efficiency based on other classes are studied. An example of 40 patients of blood cancer disease demonstrates the practical application of the proposed test in medical sciences.
