Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to give a systematic account of the mathematical theory in this field as applied to problems of hypothesis testing. The resulting methods are predominantly sequential probability ratio tests. A brief account of classical tests under the neyman-pearson formulation is included. The notion of sequential analysis has been used in some form or other in various branches of statistical inference. We may classify these branches into three broad categories: Statistical tests of hypotheses, statistical estimation, and statistical decision theory.
