Abstract:
A version of the central limit theorem for the Kiefer-Wolfowitz procedure is stated. One constructs an asymptotically consistent fixed-width confidence interval for the minimum of a regression function. It is shown that the first moment of the corresponding stopping rule is finite. Both the construction and properties of the estimates of unknown parameters and an adaptive version of the procedure are presented.
