This book contains topics that can be covered in a single-semester course. Only elementary proofs are provided, and thus the mathematics and statistics are maintained at a basic level. Only a course in each of three areas — advanced calculus, probability and statistical inference — is assumed of the student. The book has a chapter on applications to biostatistics and a supplement presenting computer programs for selected sequential procedures. Identified problems are provided at the end of each chapter.

• The Sequential Probability Ratio Test
• Tests for Composite Hypotheses
• Sequential Estimation
• Applications to Biostatistics
• Matlab Programs in Sequential Analysis
