Maximum Likelihood Degrees for Discrete Random Models

Abstract

The goal of this talk is to highlight a theorem proved during the Mathematical Research Community: Algebraic Statistics summer program by the Likelihood Geometry group. This group was led by Serkan Hosten and Jose Israel Rodriguez. In the talk, I will focus on the application of the theorem to graphical models.
