Abstract: In the area of selection and ranking, partitioning of treatments by comparing them to a control treatment is an important statistical problem. For over eighty years this problem has been investigated by a number of researchers via various statistical designs to specify the partitioning criteria and optimal strategies for data collection. We have studied various aspects of several key formulation available in literature from a practitioner’s point of view. The focus of the presentation would be on the design proposed in Tong (1969) which had utilized Bechhofer’s (1954) indifference-zone concept to partition treatments with respect to the control population. This formulation, had united a number of other formulations available in the statistical literature, and has since seen considerable interest from researchers. Focusing on the versatility of the Tong’s formulation and its applications, a generalization of the Tong’s formulation is presented to partition the treatments in the indifference zone as a separate identifiable group without altering basic idea of indifference zone. It is shown that the Tong’s formulation is a limiting case of the proposed generalized formulation. For the proposed generalization, a purely sequential procedure and a two-stage procedures are presented along with their theoretical properties. An example is provided to illustrate the proposed generalization and several other procedures available in the literature.
