Notes. K is the number of categories. N is the sample size. The reference distribution of M2 and M2 statistics is central chi-square with df degrees of freedom. Note that M2 is equivalent to M2 when K is 2. Means are reported under M and the empirical rejection rates at alpha level of .05 are shown under column heading “rej.”
