✦ Synopsis

We consider a wide class of statistics, namely C-divergences. We obtain asymptotic distributions of these statistics in nested models. Our result generalizes previous results in this field.

In the present work, the problem of estimating parameters of statistical models for categorical data is analyzed. The minimum K¢-divergence estimator is obtained minimizing the K¢-divergence measure between the theoretical and the empirical probability vectors. Its asymptotic properties are obtained
