Exact Sequential Tests for the Variance.

Abstract

Exact sequential tests for the unknown variance when sampling from a normal distribution with mean and variance of standard deviation are derived whether the mean is known or unknown. While Wald regions are used, the methods are perfectly general either for truncated or untruncated regions. The operating characteristic function, the average sample number, and the distribution of the decisive sample number are obtained by use of the direct method. (Author)
