Abstract

A sequential procedure for estimating a linear function of two normal means which satisfies the two requirements, i.e. one is a condition of coverage probability, the other is a condition of $\beta$-protection, is proposed when the variances are unknown and not necessarily equal. We give asymptotic behaviors of the proposed stopping time.
