Estimating cell probabilities in contingency tables with constraints on marginals/conditionals by geometric programming with applications

Contingency tables are often used to display the multivariate frequency distribution of variables of interest. Under the common multinomial assumption, the first step of contingency table analysis is to estimate cell probabilities. It is well known that the unconstrained maximum likelihood estimator...
