Accuracy of significance levels
The simulated significance levels are presented on Table 2 Due tothe limitations of the space, the simulated significance levels are rounded to three digits. The results showed that all five tests of exponentiality worked very well in terms of controlling the intended significance levels. The study found that the proposed test performs very closely to other four tests of exponentiality in terms of the accuracy of the intended significance levels (for each sample size and overall averages across the 19 different sample sizes). To allow for a better view of the five exponentiality tests across all sample sizes and significance levels, the columns for Lilliefors test are labelled by “LF”, Van-Soest test by “VS”, proposed modified Lilliefors test by “PML”, Srinivasan test by “D” and Finkelstein & Schafers test by “S” for therest of the tables and figures presented in this study.
