Abstract An exact expression for the extreme values of the integer vector $$\overline N = (N_1 , \ldots ,N_k )$$ that maximize the function $$\prod\limits_{j = 1}^k {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {N_j } \\ {l_j } \\ \end{array} } \right)} $$ for arbitrary integersl 1〉0, ...,l k 〉0,k≥2, and a givenN 0=N 1+...+N k is derived. Also, statistical applications of the result are discussed.
