Abstract:
We prove the validity of a lower bound for the probability of correct subset selection for choosing the best b=2 binomial populations out of c=4. The procedure considered combines sequential elimination of inferior populations and simultaneous sequential recruitment of superior populations. This extends the results of Leu and Levin (2004) to this new procedure.
