Abstract: | The choice of cells in chi–square goodness of fit tests is a classical problem. Some recent results in this area are discussed. It is shown that the likelihood ratio of alternatives w.r.t. null distributions plays a key role when judging different procedures. The discussion centers on the case of a simple hypothesis, but location–scale models and tests of independence in contingency tables are also considered. |
