On Swanepoel's Elimination Procedures,

Abstract

Swanepoel (1976) has developed classes of sequential ranking and selection procedures which have the elimination property and which asymptotically satisfy certain probability requirements. Under a variety of circumstances, this note obtains the asymptotic distributions of his stopping times. In the indifference zone formulation, it is shown that his procedures are infinitely more efficient than those appearing in the literature except possibly in circumstances closely related to the least favorable configuration.
