TITLE:A numerical method to evaluate the performance of the Chow-Robbins sequential estimation procedure


Abstract

We exposit the numerical method developed by Robbins (1959) to evaluate the performance of a family of sequential estimation procedures (stopping times). Since the latter family includes the celebrated Chow-Robbins (1965) purely sequential estimation procedure, the method can be applied to compute the performance of the Chow-Robbins procedure as well.
