Abstract We study mismatched sequential hypothesis testing. We analyze the type-I and type-II error exponents when the actual distributions generating the observation are different from those used in the test. We derive the worst-case error exponents when the actual distributions generating the data are within a relative entropy ball of the test distributions and show the error exponent sensitivity of the test for small relative entropy balls.
