The family of test statistics introduced here is based on the phi-divergence measures of which the likelihood ratio test is a special case.book parthttp://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F0-8176-4487-3_27http://link.springer.com/metadata only access519.21asymptotic distributionslikelihood ratio testphi-divergence test statistics2 x k contingency tablesordered-alternativesprobabilitiestrendsEstadística aplicada
