action: International symposium on information theory, (Nice, FR, 24.06.2007-29.06.2007)

keywords: Divergence statistics, entropy statistic, Bahadur efficiency

abstract (eng):

Bahadur efficiency of power divergence goodness-of-fit statistics of orders > 1 is compared with that of the order = 1 (entropy statistic). The formers (containing as particular case the Pearson statistic) are proved less eficient than the latter.

abstract (cze):

Bahadurova eficientnost mocninných statistik dobré shody řádu > 1 se porovnává s eficientností statistiky řádu = 1 (entropickou statistikou). Statistiky řádu > 1 se prokázaly jako méně eficietní než entropická statistika.
