A random-size subset approach to the selection problem

A new approach is proposed which is to select a random-size subset of populations that will contain the best population with a preassigned probability. This new approach is intuitively natural and needs no tables. For illustration, it is applied to four specific problems: the normal distribution with the largest mean, the normal distribution with the largest absolute value of mean, the Bernoulli distribution with the largest success probability, and the coin with the largest bias

Abstract

The problem considered is to select the best population from among a finite number of populations. A new approach is proposed which is to select a random-size subset of populations that will contain the best population with a preassigned probability. This new approach is intuitively natural and needs no tables. For illustration, it is applied to four specific problems: the normal distribution with the largest mean, the normal distribution with the largest absolute value of mean, the Bernoulli distribution with the largest success probability, and the coin with the largest bias
