Abstract

In this paper, a new test statistic for testing exponentiality against used better than aged in increasing concave ordering UBAC(2) is constructed based on total time on test (TTT)-Transform. Critical values are tabulated for sample size n = 10(5)100. The power of the test is estimated for some commonly used distributions in reliability. Finally, medical applications for real data are proposed to illustrate the theoretical results.
