Abstract:

Asymptotic results for the problem of optimal two choice stopping on an n elementlong i.i.d. sequence Xn, . . . ,X1 have previously been obtained for two of the threedomains of attraction. An asymptotic result is proved for the exponential distribution,a representative from the remaining, Type I domain, and it is conjectured that thesame behavior obtains for all Type I distributions.
