A Note on Optimal Test Length

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 January 2025

Abstract

Elsewhere in this issue is an article by Dr. Calvin Taylor entitled “Maximizing Predictive Efficiency for a Fixed Total Testing Time.” The purpose of this note is to point out that the formulation developed by Dr. Taylor is mathematically equivalent to one presented by me in a previous issue of this journal.

We start from Taylor’s equation (36) .
