TESTING GROUPED DATA FOR EXPONENTIALITY

Abstract

A treatment of the problem of testing grouped data for fit to an exponential distribution. A JOSS computer program is provided to implement an appropriate test (the chi-square minimum method), and examples are given to show how to use this program. There is also some discussion of testing nongrouped data for exponentiality and of testing grouped data for fit to certain nonexponential distributions.
