THE PHI-ENTROPY IN THE SELECTION OF A FIXED NUMBER OF EXPERIMENTS

Consideration is given to the problem of optimally choosing of a fixed number of experiments in sequential form from a class of available ex periments. The applications of phi entropy measure in the sequential d esign of experiments is studied by defining phi terminal entropy. Fina lly, the process is established when a sufficient experiment exists. A n illustrative example, which demonstrates the usefulness of the resul ts obtained, is included.
