When this is true, it is said that "θ1 has been demonstrated with a confidence γ". In this paper a Sequential Bayes Procedure (SBP) for demonstrating (by means of. a probability statement) that θ exceeds θ1 is presented. The SBP differs from the classical procedure in the sense that a prior distribution is assumed on the parameter θ, calling for a Bayesian approach. The procedure is based on the sequence of statistics. Citing Literature Volume17, Issue1March 1970Pages 55-67 RelatedInformation
