These results imply plain answers to several questions in the context of analyzing of contingency tables. Moreover, determination of design matrix and hypothesis-induced matrix of the model will be discussed. Properties of maximum likelihood estimators of the model parameters are obtained. Some new model residuals and an alternative symmetric chi-square criterion are given. Two real examples illustrate the method. CP - IRAN IN - LG - eng PB - srtc-jsri PG - 63 PT - Research YR - 2013
