Abstract
Abstract We have designed a sequential minimum risk point estimation (MRPE) strategy for the unknown mean of a normal population having its variance unknown too. This is developed under a Linex loss plus linear cost of sampling. A number of important asymptotic first-order and asymptotic second-order properties' characteristics have been developed and proved thoroughly. Extensive sets of simulations tend to validate nearly all of these asymptotic properties for small to medium to large optimal fixed sample sizes.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of Sequential Analysis is to contribute to theoretical and applied aspects of sequential methodologies in all areas of statistical science. Published papers highlight the development of new and important sequential approaches.
Interdisciplinary articles that emphasize the methodology of practical value to applied researchers and statistical consultants are highly encouraged. Papers that cover contemporary areas of applications including animal abundance, bioequivalence, communication science, computer simulations, data mining, directional data, disease mapping, environmental sampling, genome, imaging, microarrays, networking, parallel processing, pest management, sonar detection, spatial statistics, tracking, and engineering are deemed especially important. Of particular value are expository review articles that critically synthesize broad-based statistical issues. Papers on case-studies are also considered. All papers are refereed.
