What is the normal approximation of the multinomial distribution? I guess my statistical sophistication is not enough to connect the dots in this answer. If I have the sample size n and the probabilities P, how do I calculate the mean vector and the covariance matrix of the multivariate normal distribution? |

Estimating the number of times each of four pairs of dice was thrown @MichaelChernick I think it turns out that we don't need to know $N$ or $n_9$ at all. See my answer. |

Estimating the number of times each of four pairs of dice was thrown Very good response, but I'm still wondering if there might be way to estimate N. A conceptual example: suppose p is close to one. Suppose also that I got response 1 one time, and responses 2-8 zero times. Having this result would be very unlikely if N were very large, so we can conclude that N is probably not very large. Is there a way to estimate the N that maximizes the probability of the results n1-n8? |
