Describe in Detail

For a sequential probability ratio test of strength (α, β) and stopping bounds are A and B (B < A), show that A≤1-β/α and B≥β/1-α

Explanation

Let X= (X 1, …, X k) and also let E k be the set of all points in k dimensional Euclidean space R k, for which we reject H 0 using the sequential probability ratio test. Also, let F k be the set of all points in R k for which we accept H 0. Notice that (E k, k = 1,2, …) are mutually disjoint and (F k, k = 1,2, …) are also mutually disjoint. Assu
