On Calculations Involving the Maximum Cell Frequency
Bruce Lubotsky Levin · Communication in Statistics- Theory and Methods · 1983
We describe a method of computing the cumulative distribution function of the maximum and minimum cell frequencies in sampling distributions commonly encountered in the analysis of categorical data.The procedure is efficient for exact or approximate calculation in both homogeneous and non-homogeneous cases, is non-recursive, and does not require Dirichlet integrals.Some related statistical problems are also discussed.
