Abstract
In this note, necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the optimality of a sequencing rule for a class of stochastic sequential models. The optimal sequential rule generalizes the deterministic results, given in Refs. 1-2, for situations when some of the parameters of the problem are random variables. Two cases are given to demonstrate the usefulness of the results.
