โฆ Synopsis
Multidimensional binary trees represent a symbiosis of trees and tries, and they essentially arise in the construction of search trees for multidimensional keys. The set of nodes in a d-dimensional binary tree can be partitioned into layers according to the nodes appearing in the ith dimension. We determine the exact distribution of the number of nodes with zero, one, and two sons in a specified layer and show that jointly the three types of nodes asymptotically have a trivariate normal distribution in each layer. That trivariate normal distribution is completely characterized.

## BACKGROUND. A new system for the classification of gastric carcinoma, based on the number of metastatic lymph nodes, has been adopted by the current American Joint Committee on Cancer/International Union Against Cancer (AJCC/UICC) TNM system (1997). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the
