![Figure 1. Power (left panel) and (right panel) versus sample allocation ratio. We plot the sequential χ2-test (magenta ) and the z* (green − − line), sequential z (cyan −), and z+ (orange − ·) tests with first stage/fixed/first step weighting vector 0 (×), 30° (), 60° () and 90° () angle to the optimal.
