Abstract
The exact formulas of Bayes stopping times are often difficult to derive. Bickel and Yahav (1965) had provided the large sample approximation known as the "Asymptotically pointwise optimal" (A.P.O.) rule. The A.P.O. rule for the problem of the mean of a multivariate normal distribution, for a completely unknown covariance matrix , has been developed by the present author. This paper gives the A.P.O. rule of the mean of a multivariate normal ditribution for a covariance matrix with some structure. Also the result is shown to be asymptotically" non-deficient" in the sence of Woodroofe.
