| Abstract: | Power-divergence test statistics have been considered to test linear by linear association for two-way contingency tables. These test statistics have been compared based on designed simulation study and asymptotic results for 2 × 2, 2 × 3, and 3 × 3 tables. According to the results, there are test statistics with better properties than the well-known likelihood ratio test statistic for small and moderate samples. |
