SOME BAYESIAN METHODS RELATED TO CHI-SQUARE.
Abstract
Monte-Carlo studies are made to determine when the chi-square statistic (using the sample or a modified sample) leads to an accurate Bayesian confidence region for the class probabilities in a multinomial - accurate only in the sense of posterior probability content, not shape. The exact distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic is given so that regions, exact in shape and content, can be obtained. Special methods for cases where there are mixed-up and missing classes are also given. (Author)
