Toric statistical models: parametric and binomial representations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Toric models have been recently introduced in the analysis of statistical models for categorical data. The main improvement with respect to classical log-linear models is shown to be a simple representation of structural zeros. In this paper we analyze the geometry of toric models, showing that a toric model is the disjoint union of a number of log-linearmodels.Moreover, we discuss the connections between the parametric and algebraic representations. The notion ofHilbert basis of a lattice is proved to allow a special representation among all possible parametrizations.

The Negative Binomial Distribution Efficiency in Finite Mixture of Semi-parametric Generalized Linear Models
Introduction Selection the appropriate statistical model for the response variable is one of the most important problem in the finite mixture of generalized linear models. One of the distributions which it has a problem in a finite mixture of semi-parametric generalized statistical models, is the Poisson distribution. In this paper, to overcome over dispersion and computational burden, finite ...
متن کاملMinimal Systems of Binomial Generators and the Indispensable Complex of a Toric Ideal
Let A = {a1, . . . , am} ⊂ Z be a vector configuration and IA ⊂ K[x1, . . . , xm] its corresponding toric ideal. We completely determine the number of different minimal systems of binomial generators of IA. We also prove that generic toric ideals are generated by indispensable binomials. We associate to A a simplicial complex ∆ind(A). We show that the vertices of ∆ind(A) correspond to the indis...
متن کاملStochastic Complexity and Newton Diagram
Many singular learning machines such as neural networks and mixture models are used in the information engineering field. In spite of their wide range applications, their mathematical foundation of analysis is not yet constructed because of the singularities in the parameter space. In recent years, we developed the algebraic geometrical method that shows the relation between the efficiency in B...
متن کاملToric completions and bounded functions on real algebraic varieties
Given a semialgebraic set S, we study compactifications of S that arise from embeddings into complete toric varieties. This makes it possible to describe the asymptotic growth of polynomial functions on S in terms of combinatorial data. We extend our earlier work in [10] to compute the ring of bounded functions in this setting and discuss applications to positive polynomials and the moment prob...
متن کاملFinding consistent patterns: a nonparametric approach for identifying differential expression in RNA-Seq data.
We discuss the identification of features that are associated with an outcome in RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) and other sequencing-based comparative genomic experiments. RNA-Seq data takes the form of counts, so models based on the normal distribution are generally unsuitable. The problem is especially challenging because different sequencing experiments may generate quite different total numbers o...
