A New Class of Life Distributions Based on Moment Inequalities

In this paper, a new class of life distribution is named new better than renewal used in moment generating function (NBRUmgf). A new test for exponentiality versus NBRUmgf based on moment inequalities is established. Pitman's asymptotic efficiencies, powers and critical values of the new test are calculated to assess the performance of the test. The right censored data is handled also. Finally some applications are applied to the new test.

Moments Inequalities for NBRUL Distributions with Hypotheses Testing Applications

In this paper, moment inequalities for the new better than renwal used in Laplace transform order ( NBRUL ) class of ageing distributions are derived. This inequalities demonstrate that if the mean life is finite, then all higher order moments exist. A new test for exponentiality versus NBRUL can be constructed using thes inequalities. Pitman's asymptotic efficiencies and critical values of the proposed test are calculated and tabulated. The powers of this test are estimated for some famously alternatives distributions in reliability such as Linear failure rate,Weibull and gamma distributions. Finally, examples in different areas are used as a practical applications of the proposed test.
