A SEQUENTIAL MULTIPLE DECISION PROCEDURE FOR SELECTING THE BEST ONE OF SEVERAL NORMAL POPULATIONS WITH A COMMON UNKNOWN VARIANCE, AND ITS USE WITH VARIOUS EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS

摘要

This paper is one in a series which deals with the problem of selecting the host one of several normal populations. In all, four multiplo-decision procedures using the same general approach have been proposed in these papers:nProcedure A: A single-sample procedure which can be used when the populations have a common known variance. nProcedure B: A two-sample procedure which can he used when the populations have a common unknown variance nProcedure C; A sequential procedure which can he used when the populations have a common known variancen Procedure D; A sequential procedure which can he used when the populations have a common unknown variance.
