Abstract

An asymptotic expression is given for the $\log$ error probability of a sequential test based on a random walk. This may be used to compute limiting relative efficiencies of such tests. The results are illustrated for the one-sided normal testing problem with an asymptotic Bayes test due to Schwarz. Some numerical comparisons are given for five sequential tests of a normal mean.
