A Continuous-Time Sequential Testing Problem.
The paper presents a new methodology to obtain partially sequential truncated tests which are optimum in the sense of minimizing the maximum expected sample number. This methodology is based on a variational approach and uses the Lagrange multipliers technique in order to obtain necessary conditions for a test to be optimum. By means of these conditions the optimum test can be obtained. Finally, the method is applied to the problem of testing the mean of an exponential distribution. As a particular...
En este trabajo consideramos el problema de la evaluación multiatributo en términos de una función de valor vectorial que conduce a un espacio de criterios en el que suponemos es posible obtener información parcial secuencial sobre las preferencias la cual se traduce en conos definidos sobre el espacio de criterios. También consideramos dentro del esquema señalado la situación en la cual el decisor parte de un subconjunto del conjunto total de decisiones, introduciendo el conjunto K-eficiente aproximado...
Inverse sampling and formal sequential designs may prove useful in reducing the sample size in studies where a small population proportion p is compared with a hypothesized reference proportion p0. These methods are applied to the design of a cytogenetic study about chromosomal abnormalities in men with a daughter affected by Turner's syndrome. First it is shown how the calculated sample size for a classical design depends on the parameterization used. Later this sample size is compared with the...
