Sequential Classification on Partially Ordered Sets
偏序集上的序贯分类
Summary A general theorem on the asymptotically optimal sequential selection of experiments is presented and applied to a Bayesian classification problem when the parameter space is a finite partially ordered set. The main results include establishing conditions under which the posterior probability of the true state converges to 1 almost surely and determining optimal rates of convergence. Properties of a class of experiment selection rules are explored.
