Goodness-of-fit tests for multinomial models with inverse sampling

This article proposes goodness-of-fit tests for multinomial models using an inverse sampling scheme. From the multiple decision-theoretic perspective, we devise a test statistic and stopping rule that satisfy a prespecified probability level P* and obtain corresponding optimal sample sizes. Incomplete Dirichlet type II distribution functions are used to develop the procedure and to express the probability of correct decisions for various cell configurations for multinomial models. For empirical studies, Monte Carlo experiments are conducted, and for illustrations, various cell configurations of a wheel of fortune are demonstrated.
