Selecting the highest probability in binomial or multinomial trials

Bruce Levin *, Herbert Robbins
PMCID: PMC320217  PMID: 16593069

Abstract

Some sequential procedures are considered for selecting the binomial population with largest success probability or for selecting the multinomial outcome with highest cell probability. Procedures with and without sequential elimination of inferior populations are evaluated with respect to the expected probability of the population selected.

Keywords: sequential analysis, k-sample problem
