curves i.e. the OC curve as a function of p for a given value of (ρ 1 , ρ 2 , ..., ρ r ) and that of the<br />
OC curve of the moment equivalent single <strong>sampling</strong> plan.We use the above logic (although<br />
mathematically non-rigorous) and numerically justify the near identity of the OC curve for<br />
a given plan of a MASSP of C kind and that of the equivalent SSP ( under the restriction<br />
of a specified ρ vector). Note that we require effectively this near identity only for the tail<br />
probabilities.<br />
We thereafter consider three possible scenario (a) a 0 > a ′ 0, n 0 < n ′ 0 (b) a 0 < a ′ 0, n 0 > n 0 ′<br />
and (c) a 0 > a ′ 0, n 0 > n ′ 0.<br />
We show that corresponding to the MASSP of C kind with sample size n and <strong>acceptance</strong><br />
numbers c 1 , c 2 , ..., c r the SSP (a 0 , n 0 ) and the SSP (a ′ 0, n ′ 0) will have lesser regret value in<br />
the situation (a) and the situation (b) respectively. In the situation (c) we notice ( using<br />
Hald’s results ) that the OC’s of two SSP’s (a 0 , n 0 ) and (a ′ 0, n ′ 0) intersect at some point<br />
p 0 (say). If p < p 0 < p ′ or if p 0 < p then, the SSP (a 0 , n 0 ) will have lesser regret value than<br />
the regret value of the corresponding MASSP. In case, p 0 > p ′ neither of the SSP (a 0 , n 0 )<br />
and the SSP (a ′ 0, n ′ 0) may have lesser regret than the optimal C plan. In this case the plan<br />
(a ′′<br />
0, n ′′<br />
0); a ′′ > a 0 , n ′′<br />
0 > n 0 will have lesser regret if n > n ′′<br />
0.<br />
Further the Poisson OC of the MASSP D kind with (k, n) at any process average p is<br />
identical with the Poisson OC of the SSP (k, n) at p = p 1 + p 2 + ... + p r .<br />
It therefore follows that given an optimal MASSP of C kind it should be possible to construct<br />
a D kind plan with lesser regret values in first two situations as above. For the third situation<br />
we may have to satisfy the additional condition mentioned as above to obtain such a D kind<br />
plan.<br />
In the next chapter we undertake some numerical exercises to demonstrate these results.<br />
0.5.2.5 Chapter 5: Results of numerical verification<br />
This chapter presents examples of comparison of the regret value of A kind, C kind and D<br />
kind <strong>plans</strong> for different situations using the results obtained in earlier chapters and provides<br />
a visual basic programme written as Excel Macro for obtaining optimal A kind and C kind<br />
<strong>plans</strong>. For the purpose of verification we consider the case where the number of characteristics<br />
r = 3. In chapter 2.2.2 we have noted that for a given two point discrete prior distribution<br />
of p the regret function is<br />
R(N, n) = n + (N − n)[γ 1 Q(p) + γ 2 P (p ′ )]<br />
Where γ j ’s are functions of cost parameters and the parameters of the two point prior<br />
distribution. Moreover, the P (p) denotes the type B probability of <strong>acceptance</strong> at p and<br />
Q(p) = 1 − P (p). We consider optimality properties for different <strong>acceptance</strong> criterion given<br />
the values of γ 1 , γ 2 , p and p ′ .<br />
