Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed at providing a sequential multiple hypothesis testing system. In one embodiment, feedback is collected for hypothesis tests of a multiple hypothesis tests. Based on the collected feedback, a sequential p-value is calculated for each of the hypothesis tests utilizing a sequential statistic procedure that is designed to compare an alternative case with a base case for a respective hypothesis test. A sequential rejection procedure can then be applied to determine whether any of the hypothesis tests have concluded based on the respective p-value. A result of the determination can then be output to apprise a user of a state of the multiple hypothesis test. This process can then be repeated until a maximum sample size is reached, termination criterion is met, or all tests are concluded. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
