MISCELLANEA

Optimal allocation of observations for partitioning a set of new items into two control groups

JONATHAN J. SHUSTER and MARK C. K. YANG

Department of Statistics, University of Florida Gainesville

Samples of size n are drawn from each of two normal populations with different means and common variance. A third sample of size m is drawn from one of the former populations. In order to decide which population the third sample came from, we employ a maximum likelihood classification procedure, and determine, for fixed total number of measurements, the sample sizes n and m that nearly minimize the probability of misclassification. We also consider the case where several samples of size m are drawn, and each is to be classified into one of the two original normal populations.

Key Words: Classification • Discrimination • Optimal allocation
