In exptest: Tests for Exponentiality

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples

Performs Atkinson test for the composite hypothesis of exponentiality, see e.g. Mimoto and Zitikis (2008).

1	atkinson.exp.test(x, p=0.99, simulate.p.value=FALSE, nrepl=2000)

`x`	a numeric vector of data values.

`p`	a parameter of the test (see below).
`simulate.p.value`	a logical value indicating whether to compute p-values by Monte Carlo simulation.
`nrepl`	the number of replications in Monte Carlo simulation.

The Atkinson test for exponentiality is based on the following statistic:

T_n(p) = √{n}≤ft| \frac{≤ft(n^{-1}∑_{i=1}^n{X_i^p}\right)^{1/p}}{\overline{X}} -(Γ(1+p))^{\frac{1}{p}}\right|.

The statistic is asymptotically normal: T_n(p) \to ≤ft| N(0,σ^2(p))\right|, where

σ^2(p) = ≤ft(Γ(1+p)\right)^{\frac{2}{p}}≤ft( -1 - \frac{1}{p^2} + \frac{Γ(1+2p)}{p^2Γ^2(1+p)}\right).

A list with class "htest" containing the following components:

`statistic`	the value of the Atkinson statistic.
`p.value`	the p-value for the test.
`method`	the character string "Atkinson test for exponentiality".
`data.name`	a character string giving the name(s) of the data.
