Minimum Phi-Divergence Estimators and Phi-Divergence Test Statistics in Contingency Tables with Symmetry Structure: An Overview

In the last years minimum phi-divergence estimators (MϕE) and phi-divergence test statistics (ϕTS) have been introduced as a very good alternative to classical likelihood ratio test and maximum likelihood estimator for different statistical problems.
