Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is a fundamental computational problem in statistics, and it has recently been studied with some success from the perspective of algebraic …
Metric algebraic geometry combines concepts from algebraic geometry and differential geometry. Building on classical foundations, it offers practical tools for the 21st century …

In this work we investigate multipartition models, the subset of log-linear models for which one can perform the classical iterative proportional scaling (IPS) algorithm to numerically …
A discrete statistical model is a subset of a probability simplex. Its maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is a retraction from that simplex onto the model. We characterize all models …

We study the maximum likelihood (ML) degree of toric varieties, known as discrete exponential models in statistics. By introducing scaling coefficients to the monomial …
We study the maximum likelihood (ML) degree of linear concentration models in algebraic statistics. We relate it to an intersection problem on the variety of complete quadrics. This …
We showcase applications of nonlinear algebra in the sciences and engineering. Our review is organized into eight themes: polynomial optimization, partial differential equations …
We study multivariate Gaussian statistical models whose maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is a rational function of the observed data. We establish a one-to-one correspondence …
