✦ Synopsis

Sequential two-sample tests when the sample size for one of the two populations is fixed is discussed. Two tests. one for comparing the means and the other for comparing variances of two normal distributions, are presented together with the test boundaries. The numerical approach of determining the risk probabilities by integrating the conditional error probabilities with respect to the distributions of estimators is employed. The proposed tests appear to yield an appreciable advantage over the usual fixed sample size test in terms of the average total number of observations.

A procedure is presented for finding maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of a mixture of two gamma distributions; those results are given for classified and unclassified observations. The performance of the estimates based on small samples is studied by simulation experiments. Estimation

It is well known that the standard single-stage binomial test is uniformly most powerful to detect an increase or decrease in a binomial proportion. The general perception is that, to achieve a ΓΏxed signiΓΏcance level and power, a group sequential test will require a larger maximum total sample size
