## Abstract In recent years, a variety of approaches to deriving sediment quality guidelines have been developed. One approach relies on establishing an empirical relationship between the concentration of a contaminant in sediment and the condition of some biological indicator, for example, combini

Adam Wagstaff's (2011) recent paper sends a strong reminder that binary variables occur frequently in health inequality studies and that it is important to examine whether the standard measurement tools can be applied without any modification when the health variable happens to be binary.

We develop mathematical models for high-dimensional binary distributions, and apply them to the study of smoothing methods for sparse binary data. Specifically, we treat the kernel-type estimator developed by Aitchison and Aitken (Biometrika 63 (1976), 413-420). Our analysis is of an asymptotic natu
