$s$-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
• Mathematics
• 2011
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
• Mathematics
• 2011
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
• Mathematics
• 2021
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
• Mathematics
• 2014
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

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.

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

Graphs and Ideals Generated by Some 2-Minors
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

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
