Stochastic Choice and Optimal Sequential Sampling
We model the joint distribution of choice probabilities and decision times in binary choice tasks as the solution to a problem of optimal sequential sampling, where the agent is uncertain of the utility of each action and pays a constant cost per unit time for gathering information. In the resulting optimal policy, the agent’s choices are more likely to be correct when the agent chooses to deci...
متن کاملSampling From Finite Populations
The statistical objective in survey research and in a number of other applications is generally to estimate the parameters of a finite population rather than to estimate the parameters of a statistical model. As an example, the finite population for a survey conducted to estimate the unemployment rate might be all adults aged 18 or older living in a country at a given date. If valid estimates o...
متن کاملTwo-Stage Sequential Sampling: A Neighborhood-Free Adaptive Sampling Procedure
Designing an efficient sampling scheme for a rare and clustered population is a challenging area of research. Adaptive cluster sampling, which has been shown to be viable for such a population, is based on sampling a neighborhood of units around a unit that meets a specified condition. However, the edge units produced by sampling neighborhoods have proven to limit the efficiency and applicabili...
متن کاملSequential Sampling Plan with Fuzzy Parameters
In this paper a new sequential sampling plan is introduced in which the acceptable quality level (AQL) and the lot tolerance percent defective (LTPD) are a fuzzy number. This plan is well defined, since, if the parameters are crisp, it changes to a classical plan. For such a plan, a particular table of rejection and acceptance is calculated and compared with the classical one. Keywords : St...
متن کاملSequential choice from several populations.
We consider the problem of sampling sequentially from two or more populations in such a way as to maximize the expected sum of outcomes in the long run.
