The mixed variables-attributes test plans for single acceptance sampling are proposed to protect “good lots” from attributes aspect and to optimize sample sizes from variables aspect. For the single and double mixed plans, exact formulas of the operating characteristic and average sample number are developed for the exponential distribution. Numerical illustrations show that the mixed sampling plans have some advantages over the variables plans or attributes plans alone.

The control of traffic intensity is one of the important problems in the study of queueing systems. Rao et al. (1984) developed a method to detect changes in the traffic intensity in queueing systems of the and types based on the Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT). In this paper, SPRT is theoretically investigated for two different phase-type queueing systems which consist of hyperexponential and mixed Erlang. Also, for testing against , Operating Characteristic (OC) and Average Sample Number (ASN) functions are obtained with numerical methods using multipoint derivative equations according to different situations of and type errors. Afterward, numerical illustrations for each model are provided with Matlab programming.

Average Sample

Standard sequential sampling plans for determining whether infestations of forest pests have attained critical levels are commonly based on the assumption that the counts follow a negative binomial distribution for which the shape parameter, k, which must be specified, may be difficult to estimate and may well be unstable. This paper studies the effect of misspecification of this parameter on the operating characteristic and average sample number functions of a sequential sampling plan. It appears that slight underestimation of the shape parameter can improve the operating characteristic at little cost, i.e., with only small increase in the average sample number.
