Abstract
In this chapter we present some methods for treatment of categorical data. The methods involve the comparison of a set of observed frequencies with frequencies specified by some hypothesis to be tested. In Section 14.1 the hypothesis is that one categorical variable has a specific distribution. A test of such a hypothesis is called a test of goodness of fit.
