Abstract
The application of a sequential test, the sequential probability ratio test, for the tolerances of noxious weed seeds is studied. It is proved that the sequential test can give a similar power curve to that of the current fixed sample test if the test parameters are properly chosen.
The average sample size required by a sequential test, in general, is smaller than that of the existing test. However, in some cases it requires relatively a larger sample than current test.
As a solution to the problem a method of truncation is considered. A kind of mixed procedure is suggested. This procedure gives almost an identical power curve to the standard one with great savings in sample size. The sample size is always less than that of the current test procedure.
