摘要

There is a need to test the hypothesis of exponentiality against a wide variety of alternative hypotheses, across many areas of economics and finance. Local or contiguous alternatives are the closest alternatives against which it is still possible to have some power. Hence goodness-of-fit tests should have some power against all, or a huge majority, of local alternatives. Such tests are often based on nonlinear statistics, with a complicated asymptotic null distribution. Thus a second desirable property of a goodness-of-fit test is that its statistic will be asymptotically distribution free. We suggest a whole class of goodness-of-fit tests with both of these properties, by constructing a new version of empirical process that weakly converges to a standard Brownian motion under the hypothesis of exponentiality. All statistics based on this process will asymptotically behave as statistics from a standard Brownian motion and so will be asymptotically distribution free. We show the form of transformation is especially simple in the case of exponentiality. Surprisingly there are only two asymptotically distribution free versions of empirical process for this problem, and only this one has a convenient limit distribution. Many tests of exponentiality have been suggested based on asymptotically linear functionals from the empirical process. We illustrate none of these can be used as goodness-of-fit tests, contrary to some previous recommendations. Of considerable interest is that a selection of well-known statistics all lead to the same test asymptotically, with negligible asymptotic power against a great majority of local alternatives. Finally, we present an extension of our approach that solves the problem of multiple testing, both for exponentiality and for other, more general hypotheses.
