Abstract: In 1980's, differential geometric methods are successfully used to study curved exponential families and normal nonlinear regression models. This paper presents a new geometric structure to study multinomial distribution models which contain a set of nonlinear parameters. Based on this geometric structure, the authors study several asymptotic properties for sequential estimation. The bias, the variance and the information loss of the sequential estimates are given from geometric viewpoint, and a limit theorem connected with the observed and expected Fisher information is obtained in terms of curvature measures. The results show that the sequential estimation procedure has some better properties which are generally impossible for nonsequential estimation procedures.
