Abstract

To compare two exponential distributions with or without censoring, two different statistics are often used; one is the F test proposed by COX (1953) and the other is based on the efficient score procedure. In this paper, the relationship between these tests is investigated and it is shown that the efficient score test is a large‐sample approximation of the F test.
