Graph theoretic methods in Algebraic Statistics |
| Algebra and Discrete Mathematics Seminar |
| Speaker: | Alexander Engstrom |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |
| Start time: | Fri, Nov 6 2009, 4:10PM |
First I will review how methods from commutative algebra, for
example Groebner bases and toric ideals, can be used in statistics. Then I
will describe two applications of graph theoretic methods in this context:
My proof of Sturmfels and Sullivant's conjecture on cut ideals; and the
ideals of graph homomorphisms introduced together with Patrik Noren.
