About the strictly convexity of logsumexp function. Similar to multiplication operations in linearscale becoming simple additions in log scale, an addition operation in linearscale becomes the lse in log scale. The alternative way to maintain floating point stability, by keeping log multipliers for columns of outputs, was just making my head hurt too much in the nested loops. The loglog function plots coordinates on a log scale by setting the xscale and yscale properties of the axes to log. This dimension becomes 1 while the sizes of all other dimensions remain the same. So typically papers report this log likelihood, which is basically the.
