Abstract

A result due to Ray is extended to cover hypothesis testing problems in which samples are taken sequentially in pairs from two independent distributions of a one-dimensional univariate exponential family. In particular, for certain reasonable restrictions on losses and costs, an upper bound to the exact stage of truncation is obtained for a truncated Bayes procedure.
