Asymptotic Expansions in Anscombe's Theorem for Repeated Significance Tests and Estimation after Sequential Testing
重复显著性检验与序贯检验后估计中的 Anscombe 定理渐近展开
Let $x_1, x_2, \cdots$ be independent and normally distributed with unknown mean $\theta$ and variance 1. Let $\tau = \inf \{n \geq 1: |s_n| \geq \sqrt{2a(n + c)}\}$. Then a repeated significance test for a normal mean rejects the hypothesis $\theta = 0$ if and only if $\tau \leq N_0$ for some positive integer $N_0$. The problem we consider is estimation of $\theta$ based on the data $x_1,\cdots, x_T, T = \min\{\tau, N_0\}$. We shall solve this problem by obtaining the…
