Abstract:
For fixed i let X(i) = (X1(i), …, Xd(i)) be a d-dimensional random vector with some known joint distribution. Here i should be considered a time variable. Let X(i), i = 1, …, n be a sequence of n independent vectors, where n is the total horizon. In many examples Xj(i) can be thought of as the return to partner j, when there are d ≥ 2 partners, and one stops with the ith observation. If the jth partner alone could decide on a (random) stopping rule t, his goal would be to maximize EXj(t) over all possible stopping rules t ≤ n. In the present ‘multivariate’ setup the d partners must however cooperate and stop at the same stopping time t, so as to maximize some agreed function h(∙) of the individual expected returns. The goal is thus to find a stopping rule t* for which h(EX1 (t), …, EXd(t)) = h (EX(t)) is maximized. For continuous and monotone h we describe the class of optimal stopping rules t*. With some additional symmetry assumptions we show that the optimal rule is one which (also) maximizes EZt where Zi = ∑dj=1Xj(i), and hence has a particularly simple structure. Examples are included, and the results are extended both to the infinite horizon case and to the case when X(1), …, X(n) are dependent. Asymptotic comparisons between the present problem of finding suph(EX(t)) and the ‘classical’ problem of finding supEh(X(t)) are given. Comparisons between the optimal return to the statistician and to a ‘prophet’ are also included. In the present context a ‘prophet’ is someone who can base his (random) choice g on the full sequence X(1), …, X(n), with corresponding return suph(EX(g)).

Abstract:
A manuscript with an unknown random numberMof misprints is subjected to a series of proofreadings in an effort to detect and correct the misprints. On thenthproofreading, each remaining misprint is detected independently with probabilitypn– 1. Each proofreading costs an amountCP> 0, and if one stops afternproofreadings, each misprint overlooked costs an amountcn> 0. Two models are treated based on the distribution ofM.In the Poisson model, the optimal stopping rule is seen to be a fixed sample size rule. In the binomial model, the myopic rule is optimal in many important cases. A generalization is made to problems in which individual misprints may have distinct probabilities of detection and distinct overlook costs.

Abstract:
We study a stopping problem arising from a sequential testing of two simple hypotheses H0 and H1 on the drift rate of a Brownian motion. We impose an expectation constraint on the stopping rules allowed and show that an optimal stopping rule satisfying the constraint can be found among the rules of the following type: stop if the posterior probability for H1 attains a given lower or upper barrier; or stop if the posterior probability comes back to a fixed intermediate point after a sufficiently large excursion. Stopping at the intermediate point means that the testing is abandoned without accepting H0 or H1. In contrast to the unconstrained case, optimal stopping rules, in general, cannot be found among interval exit times. Thus, optimal stopping rules in the constrained case qualitatively differ from optimal rules in the unconstrained case.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes optimal single and multiple stopping rules for a class of correlated random walks that provides an elementary model for processes exhibiting momentum or directional reinforcement behavior. Explicit descriptions of optimal stopping rules are given in several interesting special cases with and without transaction costs. Numerical examples are presented comparing optimal strategies to simpler buy and hold strategies.

During the in-coming and/or outgoing inspection of the industrial products, the decision of accepting or rejecting a lot is made according to the inspection/testing results for the key characteristics of sample units. Additional costs including labor and material costs as well as the loss of mis-judgement usually occur when applying Wald's sequential sampling plan to the destructive testing. Normally, previous stopping rules for Wald's sequential sampling plan are empirically determined based on rules of thumb. Practical and unable to decide whether the sample number for terminating inspection/testing is economical or not . In order to effectively reduce the average sample number of sequential sampling plan, the upper limit of the sample number is specified first, then the optimal stopping rules is determined based on this specified sample number . Finally, a total cost function is established to assess the total loss of the proposed sequential sampling plan . The results show that the optimal stopping rule for our proposed sequential sampling plan can effectively reduce the average sample number and thus achieve a minimum total loss under the reasonable type Ι and Ⅱ errors.

A stopping rule is a nonnegative integer-valued random variable and an optimal stopping rule is a stopping rule which maximizes expectation of the underlying process. Backward induction (Chow, Robbins and Siegmund, 1971), or dubbed as the Snell envelope, provides itself as a rule to find the optimal time to stop the underlying stochastic sequence. In this thesis, we consider a more general class of stopping rules called "k-step look ahead stopping rule" and study their fundamental properties. Moreover, similar to Bensoussan (1984) and Karatzas (1988), we extend the pricing strategy of American options to the class comprising k-step look ahead stopping rules.
