Description
Summary:The comparison amongmproportions can be viewed as the clustering of the means of Bernoulli trials. By introducing a distribution which is supported on the means of Bernoulli trials, we suggest a moment method approach to determine the center of the clusters. We also suggest using model selection criteria rather than the usual testing hypothesis approach to determine the grouping of the means. The discrepancy function for all possible models are compared based on the bootstrap results.
