Varieties 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 کاملThe 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 کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters in Generalized Functional Linear Model
Sometimes, in practice, data are a function of another variable, which is called functional data. If the scalar response variable is categorical or discrete, and the covariates are functional, then a generalized functional linear model is used to analyze this type of data. In this paper, a truncated generalized functional linear model is studied and a maximum likelihood approach is used to esti...
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 کاملDegree-one Maps, Surgery and Four-manifolds
We give a description of degree-one maps between closed, oriented 3-manifolds in terms of surgery. Namely, we show that there is a degree-one map from a closed, oriented 3-manifold M to a closed, oriented 3-manifold N if and only if M can be obtained from N by surgery about a link in N each of whose components is an unknot. We use this to interpret the existence of degree-one maps between close...
