| Abstract: | Consider the model of k two parameter exponential populations under a type II censoring scheme. In this paper we establish optimality in the sense of Bahadur of the likelihood ratio test for an arbitrary testing problem by requiring only Condition A in Hsieh (1979). This result unifies and generalizes the results in Samanta (1986). |
