Abstract
R(h,v)(rho 1,rho 2)-divergence statistics are obtained by either repla cing both distributions involved in the argument by their samples esti mates or replacing one distribution and considering the other as given . Asymptotic properties of R(h,v)(rho 1,rho 2)-divergence statistics a re investigated in a stratified random sampling with independence amon g strata. Test for goodness of fit, for homogeneity of two parallel sa mples and for independence, can be constructed on the basis of these r esults. To finish, an example is given.
