代数统计模型
Algebraic statistical models
摘要:
许多统计模型是代数的,因为它们是根据多项式约束,或根据多项式或有理参数化定义的。这种模型的参数空间通常是具有良好性质的参考模型的参数空间的半代数子集,例如正则指数族。这一观察导致了“代数指数族”的定义。这个新定义为研究具有代数结构的统计模型提供了一个统一的框架。在本文中,我们回顾了这个定义的成分,并举例说明如何计算代数几何可以用来解决在统计推断代数模型中出现的问题。
英文摘要:
Many statistical models are algebraic in that they are defined in terms of polynomial constraints, or in terms of polynomial or rational parametrizations. The parameter spaces of such models are typically semi-algebraic subsets of the parameter space of a reference model with nice properties, such as for example a regular exponential family. This observation leads to the definition of an `algebraic exponential family'. This new definition provides a unified framework for the study of statistical models with algebraic structure. In this paper we review the ingredients to this definition and illustrate in examples how computational algebraic geometry can be used to solve problems arising in statistical inference in algebraic models.
