Abstract

In this paper, an asymptotic expansion of the distribution of the statistic for testing the equality of p two-parameter exponential distributions is obtained upto the order n-4 with the second term of the order n-3 where n is the size of the sample drawn from the i th exponential population. The asymptotic expansion can therefore be used to obtain accurate approximations to the critical values of the test statistic even for comparatively small values of n. Also we have shown that F-tables can be used to test the hypothesis when the sample size is moderately large.
