Sequential Tests of the Hypergeometric Distribution

Abstract

Wald's theory is used to find truncated sequential test regions for the hypergeometric distribution. These regions are then evaluated using Aroian's direct method of sequential analysis. Using this method, the important test properties (operating characteristic (OC) function, average sample number (ASN) function and the distribution of the decisive sample number (DSN)) are found exactly. The tests are compared with other similar tests (both sequential and fixed size) and estimation of the parameter after completion of the sequential test is treated. Numerical examples and general computer programs are also included.
