Abstract
Abstract We exhibit some strong positivity properties of a certain function that implies a key inequality that in turn implies the lower bound formula for the probability of correct selection in the Levin-Robbins-Leu family of sequential subset selection procedures for binary outcomes. These properties provide a more direct and comprehensive demonstration of the key inequality than was discussed in Levin and Leu (2013a).
期刊介绍：
The purpose of Sequential Analysis is to contribute to theoretical and applied aspects of sequential methodologies in all areas of statistical science. Published papers highlight the development of new and important sequential approaches.
Interdisciplinary articles that emphasize the methodology of practical value to applied researchers and statistical consultants are highly encouraged. Papers that cover contemporary areas of applications including animal abundance, bioequivalence, communication science, computer simulations, data mining, directional data, disease mapping, environmental sampling, genome, imaging, microarrays, networking, parallel processing, pest management, sonar detection, spatial statistics, tracking, and engineering are deemed especially important. Of particular value are expository review articles that critically synthesize broad-based statistical issues. Papers on case-studies are also considered. All papers are refereed.
