| Description | In many studies the experimenter has under consideration several (two or more) alternatives, and is studying them in order to determine which is the best (with regard to certain specified criteria of “goodness”). Such an experimenter does not wish basically to test hypotheses, or construct confidence intervals, or perform regression analyses (though these may be appropriate parts of his analysis); he does wish to select the best of several alternatives, and the major part of his analysis should therefore be directed towards this goal. It is precisely for this problem that ranking and selection procedures were developed. This paper presents an overview of some recent work in this field, with emphasis on aspects important to experimenters confronted with selection problems. Fixed sample size and sequential procedures for both the indifference zone and subset formulations of the selection problem are discussed. In baie ondersoeke het die eksperimenteerder 'n aantal (twee of meer) alternatiewes in gedagte en moet hy probeer vasstel waiter een die beste is (m.b.t. een of ander kriterium van “beste”). So 'n eksperimenteerder stel nie noodwendig belang in die toetsing van 'n hipotese, of die konstruering van betroubaarheidsintervaUe, of die uitvoering van regressie analise nie (alhoewel hierdie metodes tog miskien gedeeltelik gebruik kan word in sy analise). Hy stel belang in die seleksie van die beste alternatiewe, en die belangrikste deel van sy analise moet dus gerig wees op hierdie doel. Dit is presies vir hierdie doel waarvoor seleksieprosedures ontwerp is. Hierdie artikel gee 'n oorsig van die belangrikste werk wat onlangs op die gebied van die seleksie-probleem gedoen is. Vaste steekproef- en sekwensiële prosedures vir beide die indifferensiezone - en die deelversamelingsformulering van die seleksieprobleem word bespreek. | |
