Title
On the multi-attribute stopping problem with general value functions
Abstract
We examine a sequential selection problem in which a single option must be selected. Each option's value is a function of its attributes, whose precise values can be ascertained at a given cost. We prove the optimality of a threshold stopping rule for a general class of objective functions.
