The paper is concerned with the estimation of the probability that the empirical distribution of n independent, identically distributed random vectors is contained in a given set of distributions. Sections 1–3 are a survey of some of the literature on the subject. In section 4 the special case of multinomial distributions is considered and certain results on the precise order of magnitude of the probabilities in question are obtained.
