Empirical Bayes Prediction in a Sequential Sampling Plan Based on Loss Functions

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper is well written. However, numerate all your equations. Do not use abbreviations before you explained them (this is valid for abstract as well). Explain all notations used in the equations. Improve Chapter 3 (too short and it is known the purpose of the chapter). The same goes for the chapter Conclusions - too short. Provide there your main findings, main limitations and recommendations for further research.

Reviewer 2 Report

Overall this is an interesting paper to apply EB on Sequential Sampling Plans. The introduction and literature review is excellent and the methodology part looks valid, but revision must be done on the result presentation. At the current stage, all the tables look busy (is there really no way to simplify Table 1 and the end of Page 11?), and it is hard to objectively assess the merit this work brings to the community if the authors do not improve the result section's quality.
