Sequential Analysis For Tolerances Of Noxious Weed Seeds, Seung Tokko

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The application of a sequential test, the sequential probability ratio test, for the tolerances of noxious weed seeds is studied. It is proved that the sequential test can give a similar power curve to that of the current fixed sample test if the test parameters are properly chosen.

The average sample size required by a sequential test, in general, is smaller than that of the existing test. However, in some cases it requires relatively a larger sample than current test.

As a solution to the problem a method of truncation is considered. A kind of mixed procedure is suggested. This …
