A Process to Improve the Efficiency of Stop Decisions in Group Experimental Testing

Abstract

This report documents work done for Air Warrior to make simultaneous testing more efficient. If N items are on test, then after r items a decision can be made as failure time are reported. We show that at times r <.2N. This allows items to be reused if the test is non-destructive. This test is ostensibly for electronic items, but is versatile and offers great advantages for Army research testing the effectiveness of medications, vaccines, and other new medications. It is possible to reject a drug or accept it with high power very quickly. It can also be used to check if a deployment was especially dangerous and give warning to pay special attentions to veterans of certain theaters.
