The asymptotic distribution of certain tests of fit to the exponential distribution is obtained. The tests are based on regression of the order statistics on their expectations under a standard exponential distribution. Asymptotic normality at the rate (log n ) 1/2 is obtained for a family of statistics including the correlation coefficient.
