Huh, June Creator Faculty junehuh@umich.edu MATH / Applied Mathematics Illinois Institute of Technology Affiliated department discriminant Horn uniformization maximum likelihood 2014 2014-04-30 We show that algebraic varieties with maximum likelihood degree one are exactly the images of reduced A-discriminantal varieties under monomial maps with finite fibers. The maximum likelihood estimator corresponding to such a variety is Kapranov’s Horn uniformization. This extends Kapranov’s characterization of A-discriminantal hypersurfaces to varieties of arbitrary codimension. Article
