In the contingency table case simulation is done by random sampling from the set of all contingency tables with given marginals, and works only if the marginals are strictly positive. Note that this is not the usual sampling situation assumed for a chi-squared test (such as the \emph{G}-test) but rather that for Fisher's exact test.
In the goodness-of-fit case simulation is done by random sampling from the discrete distribution specified by \code{p}, each sample being of size \code{n = sum(x)}. This simulation is done in \R and may be slow.

\subsection{\emph{G}-test Of Goodness-of-Fit (Likelihood Ratio Test)}{
Use the \emph{G}-test of goodness-of-fit when you have one nominal variable with two or more values (such as male and female, or red, pink and white flowers). You compare the observed counts of numbers of observations in each category with the expected counts, which you calculate using some kind of theoretical expectation (such as a 1:1 sex ratio or a 1:2:1 ratio in a genetic cross).

The \emph{G}-test of goodness-of-fit is an alternative to the chi-square test of goodness-of-fit (\code{\link[=chisq.test]{chisq.test()}}); each of these tests has some advantages and some disadvantages, and the results of the two tests are usually very similar.

\subsection{How the Test Works}{
Unlike the exact test of goodness-of-fit (\code{\link[=fisher.test]{fisher.test()}}), the \emph{G}-test does not directly calculate the probability of obtaining the observed results or something more extreme. Instead, like almost all statistical tests, the \emph{G}-test has an intermediate step; it uses the data to calculate a test statistic that measures how far the observed data are from the null expectation. You then use a mathematical relationship, in this case the chi-square distribution, to estimate the probability of obtaining that value of the test statistic.

If there are more than two categories and you want to find out which ones are significantly different from their null expectation, you can use the same method of testing each category vs. the sum of all categories, with the Bonferroni correction. You use \emph{G}-tests for each category, of course.
