The listener's speech reception threshold ( SRT ) for target sentences is calculated using an adaptive procedure.
2.
Probability-based samples implement a sampling plan with specified probabilities ( perhaps adapted probabilities specified by an adaptive procedure ).
3.
Bayesian and maximum-likelihood adaptive procedures behave, from the observer's perspective, similar to the staircase procedures.
4.
The structure of the scheme of the tests involved in a non-adaptive procedure is known as a " pooling design ".
5.
Lai and Robbins designed adaptive procedures to estimate M'( \ theta ^ * ) such that \ theta _ n has minimal asymptotic variance.
6.
Schemes in which the tests for the next stage depend on the results of the previous stages are called " adaptive procedures ", while schemes designed so that all the tests are known beforehand are called " non-adaptive procedures ".
