Tensors in algebraic statistics

Statistics Theory 2024-11-22 v1 Algebraic Geometry History and Overview Statistics Theory

Abstract

Tensors are ubiquitous in statistics and data analysis. The central object that links data science to tensor theory and algebra is that of a model with latent variables. We provide an overview of tensor theory, with a particular emphasis on its applications in algebraic statistics. This high-level treatment is supported by numerous examples to illustrate key concepts. Additionally, an extensive literature review is included to guide readers toward more detailed studies on the subject.
