Sequential decisions with tests
We consider a principal-agent problem where the principal wishes to be endorsed by a sequence of agents, but cannot truthfully reveal type. In the standard "herding" model, the agents learn from each other’s decisions, which can lead to cascades on a given decision when later agents’ private information is swamped. We augment the standard model to allow the principal to subject herself to a tes...

متن کاملOptimal Sequential Multiple Hypothesis Tests
This work deals with a general problem of testing multiple hypotheses about the distribution of a discrete-time stochastic process. Both the Bayesian and the conditional settings are considered. The structure of optimal sequential tests is characterized.
متن کاملSequential Diagnosis with Asymmetrical Tests
In this paper we present the generalization of the test sequencing problem, originally defined for symmetrical tests, that also covers asymmetrical tests. We prove that the same heuristics that has been employed in the traditional solution of the problem (e.g., the AO∗ algorithm with heuristics based on Huffman’s coding) can be employed also for the generalized case. Examples are given to illus...
متن کاملDecentralized sequential detection with sensors performing sequential tests
A decentralized sequential detection problem is considered where a set of sensors making independent observations must decide which of the given two hypotheses is true. Decision errors are penalized through a common cost function, and each time step taken by the sensors as a team is assigned a positive cost. It is shown that optimal sensor decision functions can be found in the class of general...
