Algebraic Geometry and Statistical Learning Theory (Cambridge Monographs on Applied and Computational Mathematics)
By Sumio Watanabe.
Description
Sure to be influential, Watanabe's book lays the foundations for the use of algebraic geometry in statistical learning theory. Many models/machines are singular: mixture models, neural networks, HMMs, Bayesian networks, stochastic context-free grammars are major examples. The theory achieved here underpins accurate estimation techniques in the presence of singularities. - from Amzon
