abstract

  • The Rayleigh and the Laplace distributions have wide ranging applications in the sciences, economics, finance and engineering. In this paper, we present a procedure to test for these two distributions. The corresponding test statistics are based on the regression test of Brain and Shapiro (1983) for the exponential distribution. Power comparisons of the tests are carried out via simulations. © 2011 by IJAMAS, CESER Publications.
