Abstract
The problem of sequential point estimation of the mean of a gamma popu lation, considered by Woodroofe (Second-order approximations for seque ntial point and interval estimation. Ann. Statist., 1977, 5, 984-995), is further analyzed. Much simpler techniques are provided for obtaini ng the second-order approximations for the risk, corresponding to the sequential procedure and the asymptotic distribution of the stopping t ime.
