In this paper we study the asymptotic properties of the sequential fixed‐width rule developed for the estimation of the mean of the logistic response function based on the quantal responses observed at equally spaced dose levels. The Spearman‐Karber (S‐K) and Spearman‐type variance (S‐T‐V) estimator are used for the mean and variance, respectively, in the sequential estimation. We compute the coverage probabilities and stop
