Abstract
In this paper confidence sequences are used to construct sequential procedures for selecting the population with the a common variance. These procedures are shown to provide substantial saving, particularly in the expected samplw sizes of the inferior populations,over various procedures in the literature. A new “indifference zone” formulation is given for the correct selection probability requirement, and confidence sequences are also applied to construct sequential procedures for this new selection goal.Keywords
