LikelihoodGeometry: Macaulay2 Package

Computation 2024-11-19 v1 Commutative Algebra

Abstract

This note introduces the LikelihoodGeometry\texttt{LikelihoodGeometry} package for the computer algebra system Macaulay2\textit{Macaulay2}. This package gives tools to construct the likelihood correspondence of a discrete algebraic statistical model, a variety that that ties together data and their maximum likelihood estimators. This includes methods for constructing and combining popular statistical models and calculating their ML-degree.
