On Asymptotically Optimal Sequential Bayes Interval Estimation Procedures
渐近最优的序贯贝叶斯区间估计程序
A theory of sequential Bayes interval estimation procedures for a single parameter is developed for the case where the loss for using an interval $I$ is a linear combination of the length of $I$, the indicator of noncoverage of $I$, and the number of observations taken. A class of stopping rules $\{t(c): c > 0\}$ is shown to be asymptotically pointwise optimal (A.P.O.) and asymptotically optimal (A.O.) for the confidence interval problem as the cost $c$ per observation tends…
