A Probabilistic Algorithm for Computing Data-Discriminants of Likelihood Equations
Jose Israel Rodriguez, Xiaoxian Tang
An algebraic approach to the maximum likelihood estimation problem is to solve a very structured parameterized polynomial system called likelihood equations that have finitely many…

Convexity in Tree Spaces
Bo Lin, Bernd Sturmfels, Xiaoxian Tang +1
We study the geometry of metrics and convexity structures on the space of phylogenetic trees, which is here realized as the tropical linear space of all \ ultrametrics. The ${\rm C…

Data-Discriminants of Likelihood Equations
Jose Israel Rodriguez, Xiaoxian Tang
Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is a fundamental computational problem in statistics. The problem is to maximize the likelihood function with respect to given data on a statist…
