Abstract:

Consider K normal populations with unknown means and a common known variance.Our goal is to select a nonempty subset of the k populations whose size is at most m so that at least one of the populations associated with the t largest means is included in the selected subset with a minium guaranteed probability P*. Santner (1976) proposed and investigated a procedure (Rs ) based on samples of size n from each of the populations. We propose and investigate an alternative procedure (RHP ) with the same sampling scheme. We compare our rule with that of a procedure that selects a subset of fixed size m. The special case of t=1 was earlier studied by Gupta and Santner (1973) and Hsu and Panchapakesan (2002).
