vignette for lagrange multipliers? #27

Open stephens999 opened 7 years ago

@mbonakda you asked about a wishlist - I think it woudl be nice to have a vignette on how to do mle for multinomial using lagrange multipliers.

The challenge is that most readers won't know what a lagrange multiplier is...

Could start by doing binomial (which one can easily do without multipliers) and then extending to multinomial...
