One hundred ninety thousand, two hundred seventy eight sequential sampling models

One hundred ninety thousand, two hundred seventy eight binomial sequential sampling models were tested, via computer-simulated sampling experiments, and their average type I and II errors were calculated. Those errors, along with other information, were then organized into tables that can be accessed through the World Wide Web (http://w3.uwyo.edu/~dlegg/etables.html). Using these tables, binomial sequential sampling models can be selected so users can generate specific binomial sequential sampling plans. As always, such plans should be tested to verify that they work just as well as standard sampling plans and require fewer samples to do the job.
