A sufficient statistic is one for which the conditional distribution of the full sample, given its value, is independent of the parameter. For independent observations the likelihood is , depending on the data only through the counts. The factorization criterion for sufficiency therefore makes sufficient. Directly, all ordered samples with given counts have the same probability, so their conditional distribution is uniform over the possible arrangements, independently of the .
The unrestricted maximum-likelihood estimator is . Thus the generalized likelihood-ratio test uses
with zero-count terms interpreted by continuity. Reject for small , equivalently large .
Write , so . A Taylor series expansion of gives . Summing cancels the linear terms, and yields
Under the null hypothesis, the multinomial central limit theorem places the standardized count deviations in the five-dimensional subspace with coordinate sum zero, with identity covariance on that subspace. Their squared norm consequently tends to the chi-squared distribution with five degrees of freedom. This gives the Pearson chi-squared goodness-of-fit test.
For , the asymptotic p-value is about . The 5% critical value of is approximately . Do not reject at the usual 5% level, or at 10%. A significance level is not specified in the paper, so an unconditional yes-or-no decision is not determined: using this approximation, rejection would require a chosen level at least about .
For fixed , a large positive root must lie close to a pole of the tangent function: away from its poles, cannot balance the unbounded right side. Label the adjacent poles by and write . The Taylor series of gives
Seek the asymptotic expansion . The coefficients of and give
Thus the large roots near tangent poles satisfy
The first correction already supplies the requested dependence on . For the root approaches the pole from below; for it approaches from above. This labels roots by their nearby poles, avoiding an irrelevant finite shift in the enumeration of positive roots.
No positivity restriction on is required. The expansion requires fixed and , so the displacement is small. It is not uniform as . At the roots are exactly , a different leading sequence; these cannot be recovered by setting in the pole expansion. If varies with , its size must be checked against the small-displacement and successive-term conditions rather than using the fixed-parameter remainder blindly.
The ordinary Fourier transform does not exist. There is a real simple pole at , with
The two separate improper integrals diverge logarithmically. Thus no ordinary large- expansion is defined under the stated integral convention. A Cauchy principal value or a contour prescription would be additional data, and must be stated rather than silently introduced.
For completeness, the symmetric Cauchy principal value has a precise answer. The real pole contributes the principal-value Fourier transform of a real pole
The other poles are with residues . For , close the contour integration in the lower half-plane, with clockwise orientation. The nonreal pole contributes , while the real principal-value pole supplies the half-residue above. For , the upper-half-plane contour gives the conjugate result. With , the exact principal-value formula for is
These are its two nonzero asymptotic contributions: a nondecaying oscillatory real-pole term and an exponentially small complex-pole term. There is no second nonzero inverse-power term. This formula is qualified by the principal-value choice; it is not the ordinary transform requested in the statement.
Other prescriptions change the leading term. For example, replacing the real pole by its upper or lower boundary value changes the distribution by , and hence changes the transform by . This demonstrates why a pole prescription is essential. The smooth Taylor series at the origin alone would miss the decisive real-pole contribution.
From , differentiating successively gives and whenever those derivatives have been constructed. Starting with twice differentiability, this relation supplies the next two derivatives at each stage. Thus is infinitely differentiable, and its origin series is
For a fixed , both and are bounded on the compact interval between zero and , say by . Every higher derivative is one of these two functions. Taylor's theorem, with the remainder just proved, therefore bounds the order- remainder by , which tends to zero: its consecutive positive-term ratio is . Hence the series converges to for every real . It also gives by the usual hyperbolic-function series.
At any other centre , apply the proved origin result to , which also satisfies . Its even derivatives at zero are , and its odd ones are . Consequently
This proves convergence at every centre without assuming that smoothness alone implies equality to a Taylor series.
For an entire function, the Cauchy derivative formula on a positively oriented circle of radius about is
The resulting Cauchy estimate is , where is the maximum of on that circle.
The Liouville theorem says that a bounded entire function is constant. Indeed, if on the plane, the Cauchy estimate with gives . Sending to infinity gives at every point, hence is constant.
For the growth assumption, apply the Cauchy estimate on circles centred at zero. For every integer ,
All sufficiently high Taylor series vanish. Since the Taylor series of an entire function converges everywhere, is a polynomial, of degree at most when . If a negative finite exponent is interpreted for nonzero , the same estimate forces every coefficient to vanish, giving .
The Taylor series definition says that and, for every , there is such that
The equivalent factorial derivative criterion for real analyticity says that, for every , there are a neighborhood of and constants such that
The uniformity over matters: bounds only at do not exclude a flat function.
Assume the factorial derivative criterion for real analyticity. The Taylor theorem with Lagrange remainder gives
when the segment from to is contained in . For sufficiently small the Taylor remainder tends to zero, proving the Taylor series definition.
Conversely, write the convergent power series at as . Choose strictly inside its radius of convergence; then for some . Termwise differentiation on gives
Here the sum is , obtained by differentiating the geometric series. This is the required locally uniform bound. The two definitions of a real analytic function are equivalent.
Consider the flat function
Away from zero every derivative has the form for a polynomial : differentiating preserves this form. For every ,
because an exponential function decays faster than any power. Inductively, extend each displayed derivative by zero at zero. It is continuous there, and its difference quotient at zero also tends to zero by the same estimate with one extra power of . Thus each extension is the derivative of the preceding extension. This proves and for all .
Its Taylor series at zero is identically zero, whereas for every . It is smooth everywhere but not real analytic at zero.
The total differential order of is two, so its principal symbol is . The conormal to is , on which vanishes. The initial line is a characteristic hypersurface for this total-order symbol; the first-order time derivative does not enter it.
Suppose a real analytic solution existed near . Repeated use of the heat equation gives . The initial power series is near zero, hence
The time Taylor series at would therefore have coefficients . The ratio of successive absolute coefficients is , giving radius of convergence zero. This contradicts the assumed real analytic regularity. No such analytic local solution exists, although the initial function itself is real analytic.
