By using the kernel-type density estimation and empirical distribution function in the case of identically distributed and negatively associated samples, the empirical Bayes one-sided test rules for the parameter of inverse exponential distribution are constructed based on negative associate sample under weighted linear loss function, and the asymptotically optimal property is obtained. It is shown that the convergence rates of the proposed empirical Bayes test rules can arbitrarily close to 1/ 2 () − Ο n under suitable conditions.
