| Abstract: | The authors consider the case of a batch of discrete units produced by a process subject to failures under a known probability distribution function, and apply information theory to the problem of finding the first nonconforming unit in the batch at minimum cost. Two distinct but related aspects of this problem were treated: determining which units should be inspected, and determining how many units should be sent for inspection at the same time. |
