Abstract
The multivariate asymptotic distribution of sequential Chi-square test statistics is investigated. It is shown that: (a) when sequential Chi-square statistics are calculated for nested models on the same data, the statistics have an asymptotic intercorrelation which may be expressed in closed form, and which is, in many cases, quite high; and (b) sequential Chi-square difference tests are asymptotically independent. Some Monte Carlo evidence on the applicability of the theory is provided.

There seems to be some danger of overlooking the long-established principles of scientific inference when complex computer programs are used to analyze correlational data, even though these new methods provide great increases in the rigor with which correlation data can be analyzed.

This paper describes a method of generating gamma variates that appears to be less costly than Wallace's recently suggested method, and which also dominates methods recently suggested by Dieter and Ahrens.
