Abstract
SEQUENTIAL sampling methods were developed during the War and remained secret for some time. Accounts of the methods have since been published in statistical journals, and knowledge of them has been fairly widely diffused by lecture and discussion both in the United States and in Great Britain. Hitherto, however, there has been no systematic account in book form of the theory of the subject developed from first principles, and Prof. Wald‘s book is therefore a very welcome addition to statistical literature.
