Sequential Tests for 2x2 Contingency Tables

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA013241 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report deals with sequential tests of problems which can be formulated in terms of a 2x2 contingency table. All of the important cases marginal probabilities known and unknown and marginal populations observable and not observable are treated. Theory for finding the sequential test regions is developed and the exact values of the important test properties are found using Aroians direct method of sequential analysis. The tests are compared with fixed size tests and a method of estimation is presented. Numerical examples and computer programs are included.
