The Shapiro-Wilk Test for Exponentiality, with origin parameter unknown, employes the following statistic:
Where
Use the table below to find the critical values for the Shapiro-Wilk Test for Exponentiality. Two critical values are required. Accept the hypothesis that the distribution can be modeled with an Exponential Distribution if test statistic W(E) falls within the two values.
Note that the critical values are single-tailed values, use alpha/2 and (1-alpha)/2 to obtain the appropriate critical values since this is a two-sided test. For example, with alpha = 0.05, select the critical values corresponding to 0.025 and 0.975.
