Asymptotic Distribution of the Sample Size for a Sequential Probability Ratio Test
序贯概率比检验所需样本量的渐近分布
The derivation is presented of the asymptotic distribution of the number N of observations required to terminate the classical sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) with bounds a, b (a > 0 > b) of a simple parametric hypothesis H: θ = θ1 against a simple parametric alternative K:θ=θ1+Δ(Δ>0) when Δ tends to zero. It is shown that if the common probability density function (p.d.f.) of the basic random variables belongs to the Darmois-Koopman exponential class and if the…
