Test for Exponential Parameter Based on Type-I Censored Data

[[abstract]]In this paper, testing Ho : () ~ ()o versus HI : () < ()o for the lifetime parameter () in an exponential distribution based on type-I censored data is studied. Certain properties associated with φ* are addressed. We compare the performance of φ* with that of Spurrier and Wei's (1980). The exact powers and asymptotic powers of cp* and cpsw are computed. Some local optimality of the proposed test is also studied.[[sponsorship]]淡江大學管理學院經營決策學系暨管理科學研究所; 中南財經政法大學MBA學院[[conferencetype]]兩岸[[conferencetkucampus]]淡水校園[[conferencedate]]20080525~20080525[[iscallforpapers]]Y[[conferencelocation]]臺北縣, 臺
