Asymptotic Efficiency of New Exponentiality Tests Based on a Characterization

Methodology 2015-03-20 v1

Abstract

Two new tests for exponentiality, of integral and Kolmogorov type, are proposed. They are based on a recent characterization and formed using appropriate V-statistics. Their asymptotic properties are examined and their local Bahadur efficiencies against some common alternatives are found. A class of locally optimal alternatives for each test is obtained. The powers of these tests, for some small sample sizes, are compared with different exponentiality tests.
