S ummary The null distribution of the maximum likelihood ratio test statistic for two upper outliers in an exponential sample is derived. Percentage points are tabulated and a simple inequality for the significance probability is given. The performance of this test is compared with that of the Shapiro–Wilk W ‐test for exponentiality using sensitivity contours.
