We consider a group sequential test for testing a simple hypothesis against a composite one-sided alternative, which defines the following sequential statistical procedure: At each stage a random number of independent identically distributed observations (a group of observations) is observed and, based on the collected data, the decision to accept or to reject the hypothesis or to continue the observation is made. For the test with finite (under the null hypothesis) average sizes of groups of observations we prove the existence of the derivative of the power function and establish the information-type inequalities relating that derivative to other characteristics of the test: the average sizes of groups of observations and type I error.
Keywords: sequential analysis, sequential hypothesis testing, group sequential test, groups of observations of random size, derivative of power function.
