    Annotation In this article, we deal with problems of testing hypotheses in the framework of sequential statistical analysis. The main concern is the optimal design and performance evaluation of sampling plans in Kiefer-Weiss problems. The main goal of the Kiefer-Weiss problem is designing hypothesis tests that minimize the maximum average sample number, over all parameter values, as opposed to both the sequential probability tests (SPRTs) minimizing the average sample number only at two hypothesis points and the classical fixed-sample-size test. For observations that follow a distribution from an exponential family of the continuous type, we provide algorithms for optimal design in the modified Kiefer-Weiss problem and obtain formulas for evaluating the performance of sequential tests by calculating the operating characteristic function, the average sample number, and some related characteristics.
