Abstract: | A sequentialized version of the x2; goodness of fit test, called repeated x,2; test, is introduced. The form of the asymptotic distribution of the repeated x2 test statistic is given under the null hypothesis as well as under local alternatives. For various numbers of cells Monte Carlo results are given for critical values, power and distribution of stopping time. Finally, the perfor-mance of the repeated and the fixed sample x2 test are compared. |
