A method is presented for obtaining minimum discrimination information (M.D.I.) estimates of probability distributions. This involves using an extremal principle of Charnes and Cooper (1974) and, viewing M.D.I, estimation in a dual convex programming framework. The resulting dual convex program is unconstrained and involves only exponential and linear terms, and hence is easily
