A sequential selection game with vetoes

A sequential selection game with vetoes

We study an on-line selection game between two committee members (the players). The committee interviews candidates sequentially and has to decide, after each interview, whether to hire or to interview the next candidate.. Each player can either accept or reject the candidate, and if he rejects the candidate while the other accepts her, he can cast a veto. The candidate is hired if accepted by ...

Jet Vetoes interfering with H

Far off-shell Higgs production in H → WW,ZZ, is a particularly powerful probe of Higgs properties, allowing one to disentangle Higgs width and coupling information unavailable in on-shell rate measurements. These measurements require an understanding of the cross section in the far off-shell region in the presence of realistic experimental cuts. We analytically study the effect of a pT jet veto...

Asymptotic properties of the sample mean in adaptive sequential sampling with multiple selection criteria

‎We extend the method of adaptive two-stage sequential sampling to‎‎include designs where there is more than one criteria is used in‎‎deciding on the allocation of additional sampling effort‎. ‎These‎‎criteria‎, ‎or conditions‎, ‎can be a measure of the target‎‎population‎, ‎or a measure of some related population‎. ‎We develop‎‎Murthy estimator for the design that is unbiased estimators for‎‎t...
