Nevertheless, it was not until the early 1940's that such a statistical theory - namely Sequential Analysis - was created, which allows us to investigate this kind of behaviour in a precise manner. A. Wald's famous sequential probability ratio test (SPRT; see example (1.8» turned out to have an enormous influence on the development of this theory. On the one hand, Wald's fundamental monograph \"Sequential Analysis\" ([Wa]*) is essentially centered around this test. On the other hand, important properties of the SPRT - e.g. Bayes­ optimality, minimax-properties, \"uniform\" optimality with respect to expected sample sizes - gave rise to the development of a general statistical decision theory. As a conse­ quence, the SPRT's played a dominating role in the further development of sequential analysis and, more generally, in theoretical statistics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-10-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387979083\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4612-2736-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 207\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45379039428748,"sku":"9780387979083","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387979083.jpg?v=1775730144","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780387979083","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
