Maximum Likelihood Degree of Surjective Rational Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
With any surjective rational map \(f: \mathbb {P}^n \dashrightarrow {P}^n\) of the projective space, we associate a numerical invariant (ML degree) and compute it in terms naturally defined vector bundle \(E_f \longrightarrow {P}^n\).

The Maximum Likelihood Degree
Maximum likelihood estimation in statistics leads to the problem of maximizing a product of powers of polynomials. We study the algebraic degree of the critical equations of this optimization problem. This degree is related to the number of bounded regions in the corresponding arrangement of hypersurfaces, and to the Euler characteristic of the complexified complement. Under suitable hypotheses...
متن کاملVarieties with maximum likelihood degree one
We show that algebraic varieties with maximum likelihood degree one are exactly the images of reduced A-discriminantal varieties under monomial maps with finite fibers. The maximum likelihood estimator corresponding to such a variety is Kapranov’s Horn uniformization. This extends Kapranov’s characterization of A-discriminantal hypersurfaces to varieties of arbitrary codimension.
متن کاملConstructing and Joining Maximum Likelihood Genetic Maps
We present CART HAGENE a new piece of software for genetic mapping. Compared to existing genetic mapping softwares, CART HAGENE has both strengths and weaknesses. The most important weakness is certainly its actual limitation to backcross-like pedigree. However, when CART HAGENE applies, it is able to order markers and produce maximum multipoint likelihood marker maps with a large number of mar...
متن کاملRational Interpolation of Maximum Likelihood Predictors Instochastic Language
In our paper, we address the problem of estimating stochastic language models based on n-gram statistics. We present a novel approach, rational interpolation, for the combination of a competing set of conditional n-gram word probability predictors, which consistently outper-forms the traditional linear interpolation scheme. The superiority of rational interpolation is substantiated by experimen...
متن کاملThe maximum likelihood degree of a very affine variety
We show that the maximum likelihood degree of a smooth very affine variety is equal to the signed topological Euler characteristic. This generalizes Orlik and Terao’s solution to Varchenko’s conjecture on complements of hyperplane arrangements to smooth very affine varieties. For very affine varieties satisfying a genericity condition at infinity, the result is further strengthened to relate th...
