Asymptotic Optimality in Sequential interval Estimation
Beginning with Stein’s [9] two stage procedure, there has been substantial interest in the use of sequential methods to set a fixed width confidence interval for the mean of a distribution with unknown variance. This interest was stimulated by the fully sequential procedures of Anscombe [l] and Chow and Robbins [2] for the normal and non-parametric cases, and continues today. The recent work of...
متن کاملAsymptotic Optimality of Sequential Designs for Estimation Kamel
This paper is concerned with the problem of allocating a fixed number of trials between K independent populations from the exponential family, in order to estimate a linear combination of the means wth squared error loss. Introducing independent conjugate priors, a batch sequential procedure is proposed and compared wth the opnmal.
متن کاملAsymptotic Optimality of Sequential Sampling Policies for Bayesian Information Collection
We consider adaptive sequential sampling policies in a Bayesian framework. Under the assumptions that the sampling distribution is from an exponential family and that the number of distinct measurement types is finite, we give sufficient conditions for an adaptive sampling policy to achieve asymptotic optimality. Here, asymptotic optimality is understood to mean that the limit of the expected l...
متن کاملMultihypothesis sequential probability ratio tests - Part I: Asymptotic optimality
The problem of sequential testing of multiple hypotheses is considered, and two candidate sequential test procedures are studied. Both tests are multihypothesis versions of the binary sequential probability ratio test (SPRT), and are referred to as MSPRT’s. The first test is motivated by Bayesian optimality arguments, while the second corresponds to a generalized likelihood ratio test. It is sh...
متن کاملAsymptotic Optimality of CertainMultihypothesis Sequential Tests: Non-i.i.d. Case
It is known that certain combinations of one-sided sequential probability ratio tests are asymptotically optimal (relative to the expected sample size) for problems involving a nite number of possible distributions when probabilities of errors tend to zero and observations are independent and identically distributed according to one of the underlying distributions. The objective of this paper i...
