Abstract: It is not uncommon in the social sciences to have vague prior substantive theory, and this is illustrated for the distribution describing duration in dwelling tenure. The various discriminating criteria of Pearson and Ord are investigated as a means of identifying a distribution, and the existing method for obtaining the confidence regions to the β 1 , β 2 statistics is reviewed. A means of obtaining the confidence regions/limits for the various discriminating measures based in the sample moments is presented, and the results derived are applied to some data on duration in dwelling tenure.
