SIAM Annual Meeting: Algebraic Statistics Mini-Symposium |

Information
Main Conference: SIAM Annual Meeting July 11 to July 15, 2016
Location: The Westin Boston Waterfront, Boston Massachusetts, 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
statistical methods
for a variety of data types,
including categorical data, network data, and high-dimensional
biological data, while also driving theoretical development in fields
such as combinatorial commutative algebra and real algebraic
geometry.
This minisymposium will focus on several current themes in algebraic statistics including applications of algebraic geometry and polyhedral geometry to hierarchical models, graphical models, Gaussian mixtures, and network models.
