Pitman Efficiencies of Sequential Tests and Uniform Limit Theorems in Nonparametric Statistics
The Annals of Statistics, 1978 In this paper Pitman's method of constructing and comparing tests based on statistics which are asymptotically normal under the null hypothesis and the local alternatives is extended to sequential tests of statistical hypotheses. The asymptotic normality assumption in Pitman's theory is replaced in its sequential analogue by the weak convergence of ...
