MISCELLANEA

The F test with time-censored exponential data

RONALD REGAL

Division of Laboratories and Research, New York State Department of Health Albany

The two-sample problem for exponential populations can be tested exactly using an F statistic when the samples are complete or type II censored. An analogous F test has been used as an approximate test when the data are type I censored. Sampling theory from Bartholomew (1963) is used to investigate the accuracy of the F approximation for small sample sizes.

Key Words: Censored data • Exponential distribution • F test.
