Please Note: From the publisher's website: "... The goal of these lectures is to introduce newcomers from the different camps to algebraic statistics. The introduction will be centered around the following three observations: many important statistical models correspond to algebraic or semi-algebraic sets of parameters; the geometry of these parameter spaces determines the behaviour of widely used statistical inference procedures; computational algebraic geometry can be used to study parameter spaces and other features of statistical models... "
This reading seminar may be of interest to both algebraists and statisticians; everyone is welcome to join. As the main text we will use "Lectures on algebraic statistics" by Drton, Sturmfels, and Sullivant: http://www.springer.com/birkhauser/applied+probability+and+statistics/bo...
