Researchers have developed a novel procedure that transforms standard fixed-sample hypothesis tests into anytime-valid tests. This method maintains Type-I error control and achieves near-optimal statistical power, offering significant sample savings when the null hypothesis is false. The procedure works by predicting the likelihood of rejecting the null hypothesis at each sequential step, using future observations as missing data under the null. This approach has potential applications in fields like clinical trials, enabling earlier and safer conclusions to accelerate the development of effective treatments. AI
