View source: R/co.exp.test.R

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.
