Information
Main Conference: SIAM Annual Meeting 2018 July 9 to 13, 2018
Location: Oregon Convention Center, Portland, Oregon USA
Algebraic statistics is concerned with applying commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, and combinatorics to problems arising from statistics. This exchange across disciplines has resulted in innovative tools for parameter estimation, model selection, and hypothesis testing.
These minisymposia will focus on several current themes in algebraic
statistics including applications of algebraic geometry and
polyhedral geometry to data analysis, graphical models and
network models, and hidden variable models.
