  • Abstract
    Estimators are sought that achieve high exponential rate of decrease in the underestimation probability while keeping the overestimation probability exponent at a certain prescribed level. It is assumed that a given integer is known to upper-bound the true order. Some examples are given of possible applications of the proposed method in specific order estimation and hypothesis testing problems
