β¦ Synopsis
For sparse multinomial data we study sparse consistency rates for frequency estimators and for local polynomial cell probability estimators. Our results illustrate the beneficial effect of nonparametric smoothing. Compared to sparse consistency properties for maximum penalized likelihood cell probability estimators our results require less stringent conditions and allow more flexible sparseness conditions.

We consider inference methods for interobserver agreement studies characterized by two raters and several outcome categories that one can naturally combine to address a series of questions of a priori interest. We propose a new method based on a series of nested, statistically independent inferences
