Module 21:
Information, stopping and sequential decisions

Module 21

What this module is for

Both, with optional theoretical depth for QR. This prevents students from applying independent-count formulas to arbitrary stopping rules.

Lesson 21.1 · Core

Information through time and stopping times

Depth: Working proficiency

QT/QR relevance: Both; sequential decision validity

Lesson 21.2 · Core

Martingales and bounded stopping

Depth: Working proficiency; general martingale theory excluded

QT/QR relevance: Both; fair-game and stopping arguments

Lesson 21.3 · Research Depth

Wald’s identity and stopped sums

Depth: Advanced / quant researcher depth — Extension

QT/QR relevance: Both for advanced problems; especially QR

Lesson 21.4 · Core

Finite-horizon optimal decisions

Depth: Interview mastery for finite games

QT/QR relevance: Especially QT; sequential choices
