Symmetry and Marginal Homogeneity of an r × r Contingency Table
方形列联表的对称性与边际齐性
The principle of minimum discrimination information estimation is employed to obtain RBAN (Regular Best Asymtotically Normal) estimates of the cell frequencies of an r×r contingency table under hypotheses of either symmetry or marginal homogeneity. For the latter, a convergent iterative procedure is given to compute the estimates. The associated minimum discrimination information statistics are distributed asymptotically as χ2 under the null hypotheses. The procedures differ…
