Abstract

Two explicit estimators of the scale parameter in an exponential distribution based on Type-II censored samples are proposed by appropriately approximating the likelihood function. Then two type tests, including the modified Cramer-von Mises test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test are developed for the exponential distribution based on Type-II censored samples by using the proposed estimators. For each test, Monte Carlo techniques are used to generate critical values. The powers of these tests are investigated under several alternative distributions.
