SOME LOCALLY OPTIMAL SUBSET SELECTION RULES BASED ON RANKS

Publisher Summary This chapter presents the construction of optimal subset selection rules. In the recent years, increasing attention has been focused on the construction of optimal subset selection rules. Some of the important papers in this direction are Bickel and Yahav, Chernoff and Yahav, Goel and Rubin, and Gupta and Hsu. There have been some investigations in the unequal sample sizes case but these relate to ad hoc and heuristic procedures and are not generally successful in establishing the least favorable configuration for the probability of a correct decision.
