Abstract


The problem of sample size determination in the context of Bayesian analysis is considered. For the familiar
and practically important parameter of a geometric distribution with a beta prior, three different Bayesian
approaches based on the highest posterior density intervals are discussed.A computer program handles all
computational complexities and is available upon request.
