Exact likelihood-ratio tests for joint type-II censored exponential data

Several results based on the likelihood-ratio test have been discussed in the literature for testing the scale parameters of two exponential distributions under complete and different censored forms of data, many of which are asymptotic in nature. However, exact likelihood-ratio tests have been derived only for the case of complete and independent Type-II censored samples. In this paper, we first develop exact inference using the …
