Show moreWe consider the lattice, L, of all subsets of a multidimensional contingency table and establish the properties of monotonicity and supermodularity for the marginalization function, n(·), on L. We derive from the supermodularity of n(·) some generalized Fr ́echet inequalities comple- menting and extending inequalities of Dobra and Fienberg. Further, we construct new monotonic and supermodular functions from n(·), and we remark on the connection between supermodularity and some correlation inequalities for probability distributions on lattices. We also apply an inequal- ity of Ky Fan to derive a new approach to Fr ́echet inequalities for multidimensional contingency tables.

Show moreLet G be a finite group, let CG be the complex group algebra of G, and let p ∈ CG. In this paper, we show how to construct submodules S of CG of a fixed dimension with the property that the orthogonal projection of p onto S has maximal length. We then provide an example of how such submodules for the symmetric group Sn can be used to create new linear rank tests of uniformity in statistics for survey data that arises when respondents are asked to give a complete ranking of n items.

Show moreWe investigate the problem of completing partial matrices to rank-one matrices in the standard simplex ∆mn−1. The motivation for studying this problem comes from statistics: A lack of eligible completion can provide a falsification test for partial observations to come from the independence model. For each pattern of specified entries, we give equations and inequalities which are satisfied if and only if an eligible completion exists. We also describe the set of valid completions, and we optimize over this set.

Show moreAbstract. Theidentifiabilityofparametersinaprobabilisticmodelisacrucialnotioninstatistical inference. We prove that a general tensor of rank 8 in C3 ⊗ C6 ⊗ C6 has at least 6 decompositions as sum of simple tensors, so it is not 8-identifiable. This is the highest known example of balanced tensors of dimension 3, which are not k-identifiable, when k is smaller than the generic rank.

Show moreIn [2] Buczyn ́ska and Wi ́sniewski showed that the Hilbert polynomial of the algebraic variety associated to the Jukes-Cantor binary model on a trivalent tree depends only on the number of leaves of the tree and not on its shape. We ask if this can be generalized to other group-based models. The Jukes-Cantor binary model has Z2 as the underlying group. We consider the Kimura 3-parameter model with Z2 × Z2 as the underlying group. We show that the generalization of the statement about the Hilbert polynomials to the Kimura 3-parameter model is not possible as the Hilbert polynomial depends on the shape of a trivalent tree.

Show moreStephen (Steve) E. Fienberg (1942-2016) was an eminent statistician, whose impact on research, education and the practice of statistics, and many other fields is astonishing in its breadth. He was a visionary when it came to linking many different areas to address real scientific issues. He professed the importance of statistics in many disciplines, but recognized that true interdisciplinary work requires joining of the expertise across different areas, and it is in this spirit that he helped steer algebraic statistics toward becoming a thriving subject. Many of his favorite topics in the area are covered in this special issue. We are grateful to all authors for contributing to this volume to honor him and his influence on the field. During the preparation of this issue, we learned about the tragic killing of his widow, Joyce Fienberg, during the Tree of Life Synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh, PA on October 27, 2018. This issue is dedicated to their memory.
