Description:
Graphical models are models determined by a complex system of multivariate dependencies. Algebraic methods have already
been developed to draw inference from models with certain given independence structures. The aim of this seminar is to find
algebraic tools that will allow us to work with more general graphical models. The Wishart distribution is the distribution that
arises naturally in Gaussian graphical models and will also be the subject of some of our studies.
