Abstract:
We considerk (≥2) independent negative exponential populations with unknown location parameters and unknown but equal scale parameter.
We incorporate the existing purely sequential and three-stage sampling procedures for selecting the “best” population and
study the asymptotic second-order characteristics of the proposed fixed-size simultaneous confidence regions for the location
parameters constructed after selection and ranking. Some direct estimation procedures have also been discussed.
