A Bootstrap Test of Independence for an Absolutely Continuous Bivariate Exponential Model |
|
|
|
|
ABSTRACT |
In this paper, we consider the problem of testing independence in the absolutely continuous bivariate exponential distribution of Block and Basu(1974). We construct a bootstrap procedure for testing zero and non-zero values of the parameter ${lambda}_3$ which measures the degree of dependence and compare the power of the bootstrap test with likelihood ratio test(LRT) by Gupta et al.(1984) and the test based on maximum likelihood estimator(MLE) $hat{{lambda}}_3$ by Hanagal and Kale(1991) for small and moderate sample sizes. |
