A Note on Contingency Tables with one Structural Zero
N. Victor · Biometrical Journal · 1983
Based on a definition of Quasi‐Independence, which is equivalent to the usual one but easier to interpret, rules for the calculation of ML‐estimates in Contingency Tables with one structural zero are given. These rules are much simpler than the usual ones; even explicit solutions exist up to five dimensions. Possible extensions for other hypotheses and for more than one structural zero are suggested.
