Abstract

Let X1,X2,...,Xn,...X_1,X_2,..., X_n,... be a stochastic process with independent values whose distribution PθP_\theta depends on an unknown parameter θ\theta, θΘ\theta\in\Theta, where Θ\Theta is an open subset of the real line. The problem of testing H0:H_0: θ=θ0\theta=\theta_0 vs. a composite alternative H1:H_1: θ>θ0\theta>\theta_0 is considered, where θ0Θ\theta_0\in\Theta is a fixed value of the parameter. The main objective of this work is the characterization of the structure of the locally most powerful (in the sense of Berk) sequential tests in this problem.
