We examine a sequential selection problem in which a single option must be selected. Each option's value is a function of its attributes, whose precise values can be ascertained at a given cost. We prove the optimality of a threshold stopping rule for a general class of objective functions.
The problem of determining the size of the training sample needed to achieve sufficiently small misclassification probability is considered. The appropriate sample size is approximated using a stopping rule. The proposed procedure is asymptotically optimal. (~) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
