Original Announcement
This workshop This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will bring together
researchers in the emerging field of computational algebraic
statistics. This new field applies methods of computational algebra
and discrete geometry to problems in multivariate analysis,
experimental design, probability theory, and disclosure limitation.
The interaction of these areas has led, for instance, to the algebraic
geometry of hierarchical models and Bayesian networks. The workshop
will be a springboard for new ideas to expand the frontiers in
computing Groebner bases in the context of algebraic statistics,
counting lattice points in polytopes, and optimally disseminating
massive data while preserving confidentiality.
