Let ξ1, ξ2, ···, ξm be mutually independent random variables having a common distribution function P{ξr≦x} = F(x)(r = 1, 2, ···, m). Let Fm(x) be the empirical distribution function of the sample (ξ1, ξ2, ···, ξm), that is, Fm(x) is defined as the number of variables ≦x divided by m.

Mutually Independent

Let X1 …, Xn be mutually independent random variables with a common continuous distribution function F (t). Let Fn(t) be the corresponding empirical distribution function, that isFn(t) = (number of Xi ≤ t, 1 ≤ i ≤ n)/n.Using a theorem of Manija [4], we proved among others the following statement in [1].

The Moment

Before some random moment θ, independent identically distributed random variables x1, · ··, xθ–1 with common distribution function μ (dx) appear consecutively. After the moment θ, independent random variables xθ, xθ+1, · ·· have another common distribution function f (x)μ (dx). Our information about θ can be constructed only by successively observed values of the x's.In this paper we find an optimal stopping policy by which we can maximize the probability that the quantity associated with the stopping time is the largest of all θ + m – 1 quantities for a given integer m.

Common Distribution Function

Let X, X1, X2, …, be independent random variables with a common distribution function F(x) = P {X ≤ x}, x∈ℝ, and for each n∈ℕ, let X1, n ≤ … ≤ Xn, n denote the order statistics pertaining to the sample X1, …, Xn. We assume that 1–F(x) = x−1/cl(x), 0 < x < ∞, where l is some function slowly varying at infinity and c > 0 is any fixed number. The class of all such distribution functions will be denoted by .
