On Some Decision-Theoretic Contributions to the Problem of Subset Selection.

Abstract

Ranking and selection procedures, subset selection procedures in particular, are procedures that provide in a realistic manner attractive ways of handling problems that are commonly treated by the 2-action procedure of a global F-test, and the many-action procedure of a typical multiple range test. Consider the usual one-way layout situation in analysis of variance. In this situation, formulating the problem as a selection problem is appropriate. Subset selection procedures are often thought of as screening procedures. If the data indicates several treatments are better than the remaining treatments but no treatment is clearly the best, then perhaps the experimenter ought to retain all of the better treatments for future considerations.
