Abstract

Our goal in this paper is to establish inequalities for the moments of new better than used in the moment generating function class ($NBU_{mgf}$). Using these inequalities we propose a new test for exponentiality versus $NBU_{mgf}$ class. Pitman's asymptotic relative efficiency, power and critical values of this test are calculated to assess the performance of the test. We proposed also a new test for exponentiality versus $NBU_{mgf}$ in the right censored data. Sets of real data are used as an example to elucidate the use of the proposed test for practical problems.
