An Improved Play-the-Winner Sampling Procedure for Selecting the Better of Two Binomial Populations
选择两个二项总体中较优者的改进胜者续采程序
A new stopping rule, together with play-the-winner sampling, is used to select the better of two binomial populations. This procedure is designed to reduce the expected number of trials on the poorer population. Numerical results are given which indicate that this procedure performs better (often substantially better) in this sense than existing alternatives. Asymptotic mathematical results are also given.
