Empirical Power Study of the Jackson Exponentiality Test

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The exponential distribution is an important model, frequently used in areas such as queueing theory, reliability and survival analysis. Therefore, the problem of testing exponentiality is an important subject in Statistics. Many tests have been proposed and in this paper we revisit the exact and asymptotic properties of the Jackson exponentiality test. Using Monte Carlo computations we study the empirical power of the Jackson test and compare it with the power of Lilliefors exponentiality test.
