Batch acceptance schemes based on an autoregressive prior

In many batch sampling situations it is reasonable to assume that a correlation exists between the true mean qualities of successively produced batches. A model considered by Campling (1968) is here reanalyzed using the Bayesian linear model framework of Lindley & Smith (1972), and a wider class of serial sampling acceptance schemes derived and compared.
