The maximum likelihood degree of linear spaces of symmetric matrices

C Améndola, L Gustafsson, K Kohn… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2020 - arxiv.org
We study multivariate Gaussian models that are described by linear conditions on the
concentration matrix. We compute the maximum likelihood (ML) degrees of these models …

Nonlinear algebra and applications

P Breiding, TÖ Çelik, T Duff, A Heaton, A Maraj… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2021 - arxiv.org
We showcase applications of nonlinear algebra in the sciences and engineering. Our review
is organized into eight themes: polynomial optimization, partial differential equations …

Differential equations for Gaussian statistical models with rational maximum likelihood estimator

C Améndola, L Gustafsson, K Kohn, O Marigliano… - SIAM Journal on Applied …, 2024 - SIAM
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 …

Nets of conics and associated Artinian algebras of length 7: Translation and update of the 1977 version by J. Emsalem and A. Iarrobino

N Abdallah, J Emsalem, A Iarrobino - European Journal of Mathematics, 2023 - Springer
We classify the orbits of nets of conics under the action of the projective linear group and we
determine the specializations of these orbits, using geometric and algebraic methods. We …

Applications of intersection theory: from maximum likelihood to chromatic polynomials

RA Dinu, M Michałek, T Seynnaeve - arXiv preprint arXiv:2111.02057, 2021 - arxiv.org
Recently, we have witnessed tremendous applications of algebraic intersection theory to
branches of mathematics, that previously seemed very distant. In this article we review some …

Collineation varieties of tensors

F Gesmundo, H Keneshlou - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.07982, 2023 - arxiv.org
In this article, we introduce the $ k $-th collineation variety of a third order tensor. This is the
closure of the image of the rational map of size $ k $ minors of a matrix of linear forms …

Linear spaces of symmetric matrices with non-maximal maximum likelihood degree

K Kohn, R Winter, Y Jiang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2012.00145, 2020 - arxiv.org
We study the maximum likelihood degree of linear concentration models in algebraic
statistics. We relate the geometry of the reciprocal variety to that of semidefinite …

[PDF][PDF] Climbing The Wall: ML-Degrees for Nets of Conics

S Dye, K Kohn, F Rydell, R Sinn - puremath.no
In 1977, Charles Terence Clegg Wall classified all distinct orbits, with respect to coordinate
change, of real and complex nets of conics. A net of conics is a 3-dimensional linear space …
