Abstract
In this paper, the problem of loss of information due to the discretiz ation of continuous data and its estimate is studied. It is shown that the rate of convergence of the discretized versions of (h, phi)-diver gences to their continuous expressions is quadratic. The results of Gh urye and Johnson (1981) and Zografos, Ferentinos, and Papaioannou (198 6) are generalized and supplemented for the (h, phi)-divergence measur es.
