Description
Lectures on Algebraic Statistics by Mathias Drton, Bernd Sturmfels, and Seth Sullivant introduces newcomers to algebraic statistics, a field that combines concepts from algebraic geometry with statistical inference. This new approach offers insights into the connections between geometric shapes and statistical models. The book explores how the geometry of parameter spaces determines the behavior of widely used statistical procedures. It also discusses the potential of computational algebraic geometry in studying parameter spaces and other features of statistical models. By examining these relationships, readers can gain a deeper understanding of statistical inference problems. This collection of lectures provides an accessible introduction to the field of algebraic statistics, making it useful for both mathematicians and statisticians looking to explore new connections between their disciplines.
