This paper deals with a (relatively) new way of modeling of multidimensional probability distributions, with so called compositional models. It shows that the models forming a special subclass of compositional models, known under the name of perfect sequence models, corresponds with the family of the maximum entropy extensions, which can be computed with the famous Iterative Proportional Fitting Procedure. In addition to this it shows that computation of Shannon entropy for these models is (algorithmically) simple.
