✦ Synopsis

In this paper we address the problem of testing the equality in the right spread order of two random variables. We develop a family of tests statistics for right spread order. This technique is also used for testing NBUE [NWUE] aging classes. For these tests, we provide asymptotic results, and also, for the NBUE [NWUE] test, the exact distribution. We show the performance of these tests by comparing them with existing tests. Applications of the new proposed tests to some data sets are given.
