Log-Concavity of Multinomial Likelihood Functions Under Interval Censoring Constraints on Frequencies or Their Partial Sums
Levin, Bruce, Learned-Miller, Erik
We show that the likelihood function for a multinomial vector observed under arbitrary interval censoring constraints on the frequencies or their partial sums is completely log-concave by proving that the constrained sample spaces comprise M-convex subsets of the discrete simplex.
