The Algebraic Statistics of an Oberwolfach Workshop

Algebraic Statistics builds on the idea that statistical models can be understood via polynomials. Many statistical models are parameterized by polynomials in the model parameters; others are described implicitly by polynomial equalities and inequalities. We explore the connection between algebra and statistics for some small statistical models.
