A LOWER BOUND ON THE PROBABILITY OF CORRECT SELECTIONFOR TWO-STAGE SELECTION PROCEDURE

This paper provides a method of obtaining a lower bound on the probability of correct selection for a two-stage selection procedure. The resulting lower bound sharpens that by Tamhane and Bechhofer (1979) for the normal means problem with a common known variance. The design constants associated with the lower bound are computed and the results of the performance comparisons are given.
