    "Optimal Stopping Rules in Proofreading"
    by Mark C. K. Yang, Dennis D. Wackerly, and Andrew Rosalsky
    Journal of Applied Probability 19, 1982, pp. 723-729

    Optimal stopping rules under various conditions are obtained for a proofreader who has a probability p (known or unknown) of detecting a misprint in proofsheets which contain an unknown but Poisson-distributed number of misprints. In the Poisson model, the optimal stopping rule is seen to be a fixed sample size rule. A generalization is made to problems in which individual misprints may have distinct probabilities of detection and distinct overlook costs.
