Kamillo Ferry: Tropical combinatorics of max-linear Bayesian networks
TU Berlin
Abstract: Max-linear Bayesian networks are a type of graphical statistical model that are described by a weighted directed graph. As a further consequence, the set of possible observation of any MLBN forms a polytrope, a tropical polyhedron that is also classically convex. In joint work with Améndola, we classify the combinatorial types of MLBNs via their associated polytropes.
