Abstract

The problems of estimating parameters of statistical models for categorical data, and testing hypotheses about these models are studied. Asymptotic properties of estimators minimizing [phi]-divergence between theoretical and empirical vectors of means are established. Asymptotic distributions of [phi]-divergences between empirical and estimated vectors of means are explictly evaluated, and tests based on these statistics are studied. The paper extends results previously established in this area.
