Python package :MLE for Dirichlet distribution

Question

I was wondering if someone knew about a python package that implements MLE to estimate parameters of a Dirichlet distribution.

Answer 1

Eric Suh has a package here.

$ pip install git+https://github.com/ericsuh/dirichlet.git

Then:

import numpy
import dirichlet
a0 = numpy.array([100, 299, 100])
D0 = numpy.random.dirichlet(a0, 1000)
dirichlet.mle(D0)
