Noun[edit]
algebraic statistics (uncountable)
- (mathematics, statistics) A discipline within mathematical statistics in which algebra is used to describe and analyse problems;

- That workshop was built on the algebraic statistics paradigm, which is that statistical models for discrete data can be regarded as solutions to systems of polynomial equations.
- 2009, Mathias Drton, Bernd Sturmfels, Seth Sullivant, Lectures on Algebraic Statistics[1], Springer (Birkhäuser), page vii:
- Algebraic statistics is concerned with the development of techniques in algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, and combinatorics, to address problems in statistics and its applications.
