The Compound Hypergeometric Distribution and a System of Single Sampling Inspection Plans Based on Prior Distributions and Costs

Abstract

The main results of this paper, apart from the limit theorems, were given in two lectures at the University of London, and in a seminar at Imperial College of Science and Technology, London, January 1959. The complete paper was presented for discussion in a meeting at Imperial College in February 1960. The paper reviews present sampling inspection plans for attributes placing particular emphasis on their underlying assumptions. A model is then proposed based upon prior distributions and costs, and optimum sampling plans are derived which minimize the average costs for any prior distribution. Tables and examples are provided.
