New e-processes aggregate optimal sequential tests

Researchers have demonstrated a method to aggregate asymptotically optimal sequential tests into log-optimal e-processes. This work proves the converse of a previous finding, establishing that optimal sequential tests can indeed be constructed from these e-processes. The new approach utilizes a novel class of WAIT e-processes, which are weighted aggregates of indicators of stopping times. AI

    Optimal sequential tests yield log-optimal e-processes

    It has been recently shown that e-processes are sufficient for sequential testing in the following sense: every level-$α$ sequential test can be obtained by thresholding an e-process at $1/α$. However, in the above result, neither does the test have to be asymptotically optimal (…
