Are the Sweden Democrats really Sweden’s largest party? : A maximum likelihood ratio test on the simplex
(2017) In Statistics and Probability Letters 124. p.64-68- Abstract
- We introduce a maximum likelihood ratio test to test if a specific proportion is the greatest in a multinomial situation with a single measurement. The test is based on partitioning the parameter space and utilising logratio transformations.
