...Recently, Bandyopadhyay and Mukherjee (2007) updated the partially sequential stopping rule using the concept of sequential ranks. Such sequential ranks were used earlier in connection with a quasi-sequential stopping rule by Bhattacharya and Frierson (1981). However, all such sequential stopping rules terminate with probability one under both the null and alternative hypotheses....

Such sequential ranks were used earlier in connection with a quasi-sequential stopping rule by Bhattacharya and Frierson (1981). However, all such sequential stopping rules terminate with probability one under both the null and alternative hypotheses. Thus, the monitoring stops even when there is no fluctuation in the populations. This is really unwarranted in much econometric as well as environmental monitoring. Here a process needs to be monitored ceaselessly. Particularly, when we assume a negligible cost of sampling under no fluctuation, we do not need to stop at all unless there is a signal. Chu et al. (1996) emphasizes the need for developing partial sequential tests which rarely terminate when no fluctuation is observed....

Thus, the monitoring stops even when there is no fluctuation in the populations. This is really unwarranted in much econometric as well as environmental monitoring. Here a process needs to be monitored ceaselessly. Particularly, when we assume a negligible cost of sampling under no fluctuation, we do not need to stop at all unless there is a signal. Chu et al. (1996) emphasizes the need for developing partial sequential tests which rarely terminate when no fluctuation is observed. They also discussed the importance of controlling Type I error in monitoring structural changes. Thus, we require framing a rule in such a way that a termination will signal instability. Hence we certainly need to construct tests with asymptotically or approximately power one and simultaneously to achieve control over Type I error rate. Sequential procedures are effective in several real bio-statistical and econometric problems. Sequential plans often save precious sample sizes and give efficient inference. On the other hand, in most of the real life situations, the normality assumption does not work well. It is difficult to suggest suitable non normal model in many situations. Moreover, inference based on non normal models is not always easy. Thus, nonparametric models have a wide applicability in the present era. At the same time, research related to controlling Type I error rate in statistical inference are getting more and more importance. As the pattern of the alternative is unknown or vague in most cases, deriving optimal tests become complicated. Statisticians are, in these days, avoiding the long practice of using mathematically sound optimal tests. Those tests, mainly in the area of sequential clinical trials, are continually being replaced by some heuristic tests that are more practical and easy to handle. If properly designed, such heuristic tests are likely to have greater appeal in testing some econometric or environmental hypothesis as well. One may see Huang et al. (2005) for an illustration of controlling Type I error in adjusted O’Brien’s test....

...Among others, to name a few are Page (1955), Bhattacharya and Johnson (1968), and Bandyopadhyay and Mukherjee (2007). As in Bandyopadhyay and Mukherjee (2007), we define Fm · be the empirical d.f. based on m. Further suppose Hm+k−1 · be the empirical distribution function (d.f.) based on m and 1 2 k−1 , k ≥ 1. Then Tn = ∑n k=1 Fm k gives the usual rank sum statistic, whereas the sequential rank sum statistic is given by Sn = ∑n k=1 Hm+k−1 k . Hence usual rank-based Orban and Wolfe (1980)-type stopping rule becomes...
