文摘A new nonparametric procedure is developed to test the exponentiality against the strict NBUC property of a life distribution. The exact null distribution is derived by the theory of sample spacings, and the asymptotic normality is also established by the large sample theory of L-statistics. Finally, the lower and upper tailed probability of the exact null distribution and some numerical simulation results are presented as well.
