contents In this work we investigate partition models, the subset of log-linear models for which one can perform the iterative proportional scaling (IPS) algorithm to numerically compute the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE). Partition models include families of models such as hierarchical models and balanced, stratified staged trees. We define a sufficient condition, called the Generalized Running Intersection Property (GRIP), on the matrix representation of a partition model under which IPS algorithm produces the exact MLE in one cycle. Additionally we connect the GRIP to the toric fiber product and to previous results for hierarchical models and balanced, stratified staged trees. This leads to a characterization of balanced, stratified staged trees in terms of the GRIP.
