Abstract

Recently, entropy and extropy-based tests for the uniform distribution have attracted the attention of some researchers. This paper proposes nonparametric entropy and extropy estimators based on progressive type-II censoring and investigates their properties and behavior. Performance of the proposed estimators is studied via simulations. Entropy and extropy-based goodness-of-fit tests for uniformity are developed by the well performed estimators. The powers of the proposed uniformity tests are compared also via simulations assuming various alternatives and censoring schemes.
