Estimation for multiplicative models under multinomial sampling
Antonio Forcina · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2017
The models considered in this paper are a special subclass of Relational models which may be appropriate when a collection of independence statements must hold even after probabilities are re-scaled to sum to 1. After reviewing the basic properties of these models and deriving some new ones, two algorithms for computing maximum likelihood estimates are presented. Some new light is also thrown on the underlying geometry.
