Summary

This paper deals with the sequential estimation ofq(ϑ1, ϑ2) when the underlying density function is of the formf(x)=q(ϑ1, ϑ2)h(x), where ϑ1 and ϑ2 are unknown truncation parameters. We study the sequential properties of the stopping rule and the sequential estimator ofq(ϑ1, ϑ2). In this study we assume that the sample is type II censored.
