Algebraic statistics is a rapidly developing field, where ideas from statistics and algebra meet and stimulate new research directions. One of the origins of algebraic statistics is the work by Diaconis and Sturmfels in 1998 on the use of Groebner bases for constructing a connected Markov chain for performing conditional tests of a discrete exponential family. In this book we take up this topic and present a detailed summary of developments following the seminal work of Diaconis and Sturmfels.

This book is intended for statisticians with minimal backgrounds in algebra. As we ourselves learned algebraic notions through working on statistical problems and collaborating with notable algebraists, we hope that this book with many practical statistical problems is useful for statisticians to start working on the field.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"The book by Aoki, Hara, and Takemura presents a thorough introduction to Markov chain Monte Carlo tests for discrete exponential families, focusing on the concept of Markov bases. It is an authoritative and highly readable account of this field. ... This text is the definitive reference on the subject, aimed principally at statisticians interested in Markov chain algorithms for sampling from discrete exponential families and its various applications ... . It could also be used as a textbook for an advanced seminar on the subject." (Luis David Garca-Puente, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2013)
