Since the ordinary and penalized power-divergence test statistics have the same asymptotic distribution, comparisons have been only made for small and moderate samples. Three-way contingency tables distributed according to a multinomial distribution have been considered. Simulation results reveal that penalized power-divergence test statistics perform much better than their ordinary counterparts. }, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {1}, number = {3}, year = {2007}, pages = {175 - 180}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/8721}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/3}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 3, 2007}, }
