A Test of Two Unitary Exponential Samples with and without Time Truncation.

Abstract

A test of the equality of the parameters (lambda sub 1) and (lambda sub 2) of two exponential random variables (X sub 1) and (X sub 2) is developed and evaluated for the case of a single sample from each population. The test is valid with or without time truncated testing although the test is less powerful under time truncated testing. The results are applicable to reliability studies. (Author)
