Bayesian sequential composite hypothesis testing in discrete time
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We study the sequential testing problem of two alternative hypotheses regarding an unknown parameter in an exponential family when observations are costly. In a Bayesian setting, the problem can be embedded in a Markovian framework. Using the conditional probability of one of the hypotheses as the underlying spatial variable, we show that the cost function is concave and that the posterior distribution becomes more concentrated as time goes on. Moreover, we study time monotonicity of the value function. For a large class of model specifications, the cost function is non-decreasing in time, and the optimal stopping boundaries are thus monotone.
