Conditional independence ideals with hidden variables
$s$-Hankel hypermatrices and $2\times 2$ determinantal ideals
We introduce the concept of s-Hankel hypermatrix, which generalizes both Hankel matrices and generic hypermatrices. We study two determinantal ideals associated to an s-Hankel hypermatrix: the ideal…

Robustness and Conditional Independence Ideals
We study notions of robustness of Markov kernels and probability distribution of a system that is described by $n$ input random variables and one output random variable. Markov kernels can be…
2 × 2 Permanental Ideals of Hypermatrices
We analyze the structure of ideals generated by some classes of 2 × 2 permanents of hypermatrices, generalizing [9] on 2 × 2 permanental ideals of generic matrices. We compare the obtained structure…
Matroid stratifications of hypergraph varieties, their realization spaces, and discrete conditional independence models
We study conditional independence (CI) models in statistical theory, in the case of discrete random variables, from the point of view of algebraic geometry and matroid theory. Any CI model with…
POSITIVE MARGINS AND PRIMARY DECOMPOSITION
We study random walks on contingency tables with fixed marginals, cor- responding to a (log-linear) hierarchical model. If the set of allowed moves is not a Markov basis, then there exist tables with…
Algebraic Aspects of Conditional Independence and Graphical Models
This chapter of the forthcoming Handbook of Graphical Models contains an overview of basic theorems and techniques from algebraic geometry and how they can be applied to the study of conditional…

TLDR
It is shown that robust systems can be described in terms of suitable interaction families of Gibbs potentials, which allows us to address the problem of systems design.

Binomial Ideals
We investigate the structure of ideals generated by binomials (polynomials with at most two terms) and the schemes and varieties associated to them. The class of binomial ideals contains many…
Primary Decomposition of Lattice Basis Ideals
TLDR
All minimal primes in the 3  ×  n case are determined, and faster ways of computing a generating set for the associated toric ideal from a lattice basis ideal are presented.
Decompositions of binomial ideals
We present Binomials, a package for the computer algebra system Macaulay 2, which specializes well-known algorithms to binomial ideals. These come up frequently in algebraic statistics and…

Let G be a finite graph on [n] = {1, 2,…, n}, X a 2 × n matrix of indeterminates over a field K, and S = K[X] a polynomial ring over K. In this article, we study about ideals I G of S generated by…

Box-shaped Matrices and the Defining Ideal of Certain Blowup Surfaces
In this paper, we generalize the notions of a matrix and its ideal of 2 × 2 minors to that of a box-shaped matrix and its ideal of 2 × 2 minors, and make use of these notions to study projective…
