Convergence of multinomial goodness-of-fit statistics to chi–square distribution

Zh. Assylbekov

Аннотация: Let $\boldsymbol{Y}=(Y_1,Y_2,\dots,Y_k)'$ be a random vector with multinomial distribution. In the talk we investigate the convergence rate of so-called power divergence family of statistics $\{I^\lambda(\boldsymbol{Y}),\lambda\in\mathbb{R}\}$ introduced by Cressie and Read (1984) to chi-square distribution. It is proved that for every $k\ge4$
$$ \mathsf{P}(2nI^\lambda(\boldsymbol{Y})<c)=G_{k-1}(c)+O(n^{-1+\mu(k-1)}), $$
where $G_r(c)$ is the distribution function of chi-square random variable with $r$ degrees of freedom, $\mu(r)={6}/{(7r+4)}$ for $3\le r\le 7$, $\mu(r)={5}/{(6r+2)}$ for $r\ge 8$. This refines Zubov and Ulyanov's result (2008). The proof uses Krätzel-Nowak's theorem (1991) on the number of integer points in a convex body with smooth boundary.
