چکیده
A closed-form expression and an upper bound are obtained for the mean absolute error of the unbiased estimator of a probability in inverse binomial sampling. The results given permit the estimation of an arbitrary probability with a prescribed level of the normalized mean absolute error.

Modeling Critical Flow through Choke for a Gas-condensate Reservoir Based on Drill Stem Test Data
Gas-condensate reservoirs contain hydrocarbon fluids with characteristics between oil and gas reservoirs and a high gas-liquid ratio. Due to the large gas-liquid ratio, wellhead choke calculations using the empirical equations such as Gilbert may contain considerable error. In this study, using drill stem test (DST) data of a gas-condensate reservoir, coefficients of Gilbert equation was modifi...
متن کاملA Theory of Truncated Inverse Sampling
In this paper, we have established a new framework of truncated inverse sampling for estimating mean values of non-negative random variables such as binomial, Poisson, hypergeometrical, and bounded variables. We have derived explicit formulas and computational methods for designing sampling schemes to ensure prescribed levels of precision and confidence for point estimators. Moreover, we have d...

متن کاملEstimation of a probability with optimum guaranteed confidence in inverse binomial sampling
Sequential estimation of a probability p by means of inverse binomial sampling is considered. For μ1, μ2 > 1 given, the accuracy of an estimator p̂ is measured by the confidence level Pr[p/μ2 ≤ p̂ ≤ pμ1]. The confidence levels c0 that can be guaranteed for p unknown, i.e. such that Pr[p/μ2 ≤ p̂ ≤ pμ1] ≥ c0 for all p ∈ (0, 1), are investigated. It is shown that, within the general class of randomiz...
