# co.exp.test: Test for exponentiality of Cox and Oakes

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples

### Description

Performs Cox and Oakes test for the composite hypothesis of exponentiality, see e.g. Henze and Meintanis (2005, Sec. 2.5).

### Usage

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

### Arguments

 x a numeric vector of data values.
 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.

### Details

The Cox and Oakes test is a test for the composite hypothesis of exponentiality. The test statistic is

CO_n = n+∑_{j=1}^n(1-Y_j)\log Y_j,

where Y_j=X_j/\overline{X}. (6/n)^{1/2}(CO_n/π) is asymptotically standard normal (see, e.g., Henze and Meintanis (2005, Sec. 2.5)).

### Value

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

 statistic the value of the Cox and Oakes statistic. p.value  the p-value for the test. method the character string "Test for exponentiality based on the statistic of Cox and Oakes". data.name a character string giving the name(s) of the data.
