On the Analysis of Multidimensional Contingency Tables
Harry H. Ku, Ruth N Varner, S. Kullback · Journal of the American Statistical Association · 1971
The principle of minimum discrimination information estimation is described and used to generate estimates for tests of hypotheses concerning various interactions and effects in the analysis of multidimensional contingency tables. All classical hypotheses for contingency tables can be generated by the use of this principle when certain marginals are considered as fixed. Analysis of information tables are given for a four-way contingency table.
