Abstract

In a resent paper, Na, Lee and Kim(1998) develop a test statistic for testing whether or not the mean residual life changes its trend based on complete data and show that the new test performs better than previously known tests. In this paper, we extend their test to the randomly censored data. The asymptotic normality of the test statistic is established. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to compare our test with a previously known test by the power of tests.
