Abstract
Abstract This paper deals with testing traffic intensity, which is the most important parameter of the queue system. The Wald-type sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) is performed to determine traffic intensity by taking advantage of the fact that the total number of customers arriving up to the kth service period, including the kth service period, has a negative binomial distribution. Acceptance and rejection limits obtained from the SPRT are arranged as a multiple sampling plan. This plan is applied with a finite Markov chain. Then, the Operating Characteristic (OC) function and the Average Sample Number (ASN) are obtained precisely. Obtaining the standard errors of the sample number compared to the studies on SPRT applications is the novelty brought by this paper. The sequential analysis method based on the finite Markov chain is also applied to a numerical sample.
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.
