Sequential testing of complementary hypotheses about population density by Diego F. Rincon, Izzy McCabe, David W. Crowder

“…Although the test requires fewer samples, more incorrect decisions may be produced for purely sequential designs when densities are below the thresholds (type I error), compared with probability ratios. We show the new test is a powerful, easily implementable framework with applications in natural resource and pest management, whose outputs are easily interpretable for decision making.…”
