Abstract

The family of power-divergence statistics conditional on margins is considered for testing homogeneity of .tau. multinomial populations with equal sample size and the exact Bahadur slope is obtained. It is shown that the likelihood ratio test conditional on margins is the most Bahadur efficient among the family of power-divergence statistics.
