Log-Concavity of Multinomial Likelihood Functions Under Interval Censoring Constraints on Frequencies or Their Partial Sums

5 Nov 2023  ·  Bruce Levin, Erik Learned-Miller ·

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.
