Abstract

We show that the serial SNPV and the LCFDP are equivalent. The serial SNPV is a special case of the SNPV that tries maximize the expected NPV of a project by sequencing activities that have stochastic durations and cash flows that are incurred at the start of an activity. The LCFDP, on the other hand, minimizes the expected cost of the sequential diagnosis of a set of tests that have known execution costs and failure probabilities.
