文摘The general functional form of composite likelihoods is derived by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler distance under structural constraints associated with low dimensional densities. Connections with the I-projection and the maximum entropy distributions are shown. Asymptotic properties of composite likelihood inference under the proposed information-theoretical framework are established.
