Abstract:
|
A procedure is developed for selecting a subset which is asserted to contain the "best" of several multinomial populations with a pre-assigned probability of correct selection.According to a pre-chosen linear combination of the multinomial cell probabilities, the "best" population is defined to be the one with the highest such linear combination. The procedure is based on the large sample approximation of the multinomial distribution by the singular multivariate normal distribution. The proposed procedure is applied to real economics data relating to population income mobility in four countries.
