Essentially, the ARL counts the number of observations until the corresponding procedure flags a change. To enable a fair comparison between competing designs, one frequently deploys the steady-state ARL. Differing from the older concept of the zero-state ARL (which assumes that the to-be-detected change occurs immediately at startup or never), the former measure postulates this change’s appearance after reaching some steady state. Considering different notions (primarily conditional and cyclical ones) of the measure, we recapitulate its historical development; provide a critical discussion of its often-careless exploitation, including a few misconceptions; and derive some new mathematical characterizations that permit its easy calculation.","PeriodicalId":48879,"journal":{"name":"Sequential Analysis-Design Methods and Applications","volume":"40 1","pages":"405 - 426"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44651422","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}

We propose two unifying versions directly applicable in industrial process control and easily extendable to public health infectious disease surveillance via some data detrending and/or demodulation. The root idea uses the sum of likelihood ratios upon which an optimal stopping criterion is based. It sets a prior on the epoch of a change, allows the flexibility to elicit a prior distribution on other process parameters, and attempts to minimize an expected loss function. A sensitivity analysis is conducted for validation and performance assessment and analytical formulas are derived. The methods are successfully applied to the European Union Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) open-source global COVID-19 incidence data. We further lay out scenarios where interest may switch to the detection of separate outbreaks with similar syndromes during an already evolving epidemic. We view our approach as a toolkit with a potential to augment early reports to sentinels in syndromic surveillance and in biosurveillance.","PeriodicalId":48879,"journal":{"name":"Sequential Analysis-Design Methods and Applications","volume":"40 1","pages":"149 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07474946.2021.1912503","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42264005","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 order to achieve minimum risk, a crucial point is to determine the number of items to obtain in the recapture phase. We first develop a purely sequential sampling scheme that will require much less sampling operations without losing accuracy of the estimation. Then, we develop a novel practical accelerated sequential method that will further accelerate the whole recapture process when sampling can be easily done in batches. The stopping rules of both purely sequential and accelerated sequential sampling schemes possess desirable asymptotic properties.

In this article, optimal k-level constant-stress and step-stress accelerated life tests are compared to the Rayleigh failure data under progressive Type I censoring. The objective is to quantify the advantage of using step-stress testing relative to constant-stress testing. Due to constrained resources in practice, stress durations must be determined carefully at the design stage to run an accelerated life test efficiently. The stress durations directly affect the experimental cost and the estimate precision of the parameters of interest. This article investigates the optimal stress durations based on several (T/C/D/P/R) optimality criteria under the constraint that the total experimental cost does not exceed a prespecified budget. In addition, these criteria are compared together. Under the budget constraint, these two stress loading schemes are compared. Based on the numerical results, the cost constraint reduces cost and time of the test. It is found that the T-optimal design has the lowest cost and time for the unconstrained testing in both stress loading. Finally, a real data set is analyzed for illustrative purposes.","PeriodicalId":48879,"journal":{"name":"Sequential Analysis-Design Methods and Applications","volume":"40 1","pages":"17 - 31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07474946.2021.1847940","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48723539","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}
