Abstract

A two-stage selection procedure is considered in the case of exponential populations with common known scale parameter. The proposed procedure is designed following the lines of Tamhane and Bechhofer(1977). The design constants to implement the procedure are provided. Monte Carlo results show that the proposed procedure performs better than the single procedure by Raghvachari and Starr (1970) in terms of the expected total sample size.
