Estimating the Structural Distribution Function of Cell Probabilities

We consider estimation of the structural distribution function of the cell probabilities of a multinomial sample in situations where the number of cells is large. We review the performance of the natural estimator, an estimator based on grouping of the cells, and a kernel type estimator. Inconsisten...
