  • Published:
Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The problem of selecting thet best amongk populations is considered. The concept of ψ-correct selection is defined and it is shown that the indifference zone approach is consistent in the following sense. The minimum probability of ψ-correct selection over the entire parameter space is no less than the minimum probability of correct selection over the preference zone.
