The observations are assumed to be independent both within and between the groups. We assume that the group sizes are independent and their distributions are known and that the groups are formed independent of the observations. We are concerned with a problem of testing a simple hypothesis against a simple alternative. For any (group) sequential test, we take into account the following three characteristics: its type I and type II error probabilities and the average cost of observations. Under mild conditions, we characterize the structure of sequential tests minimizing the average cost of observations among all sequential tests whose type I and type II error probabilities do not exceed some prescribed levels.","PeriodicalId":48879,"journal":{"name":"Sequential Analysis-Design Methods and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45264470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A dominant research stream since the middle of the 20th century has been the challenge of generalizing Wald’s sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) to include composite alternative hypotheses. This article offers an alternative for a binomial distribution by constructing a single-parameter family of triangular rejection regions for the null hypothesis using a generation function argument in the two-dimensional space of successes versus failures. The result is algebraically equivalent to one line of the SPRT with unit power and with the second value of the binomial parameter as the undetermined parameter. Rounding then discretizes the line to the grid of two-dimensional integers and classical results for arbitrary stopping conditions are used to give expressions for the estimator, of the binomial parameter and its variance The choice can be made by the practitioner in terms of their appetite for risk or more formally via a power analysis. An example is given of an ecological study where a quick binary decision was required and this desire had to be weighed against robustness of the results.","PeriodicalId":48879,"journal":{"name":"Sequential Analysis-Design Methods and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41853745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, multidimensional integration plays a central role in Bayesian inference, statistical physics, data science, and machine learning. However, due to the curse of dimensionality, deterministic numerical methods are inefficient in the high-dimensional setting. Consequentially, for many practical problems one must resort to approximate estimation techniques such as Monte Carlo methods. In this article, we introduce a novel sequential Monte Carlo algorithm called stratified splitting. The method provides unbiased estimates and can handle various integrand types including indicator functions, which are important for rare-event probability estimation problems. We provide rigorous analysis of the efficiency of the proposed method and present a numerical demonstration of the algorithmic performance when applied to practical application domains. Our numerical experiments suggest that the stratified splitting method is capable of delivering accurate results for a variety of integration problems while requiring reasonable computational effort.","PeriodicalId":48879,"journal":{"name":"Sequential Analysis-Design Methods and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45630883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
