The sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) is a specific sequential hypothesis test, developed by Abraham Wald. Neyman and Pearson's 1933 result inspired Wald to reformulate it as a sequential analysis problem. The Neyman-Pearson lemma, by contrast, offers a rule of thumb for when all the data is collected (and its likelihood ratio known). While originally developed for use in quality control studies in the realm of manufacturing, SPRT has been formulated for use in the computerized testing of human examinees as a termination criterion.〔Ferguson, Richard L.

They must be specified as follows: : : The next step is calculate the cumulative sum of the log-likelihood ratio, , as new data arrive: with , then, for i=1,2,..., : The stopping rule is a simple thresholding scheme: * : continue monitoring (''critical inequality'') * : Accept * : Accept where a and b ( 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sequential probability ratio test」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
