Abstracts of Workshop on Computational Algebraic Statistics, Theories and Applications

of the IASC on Computational Statistics & Data Analysis) held during December 5-8 in Yokohama, Japan. The objective of the workshop is to present new developments in algebraic methods in computational statistics. One of the main topics of the workshop is techniques of algebraic statistics, such as Groebner bases, Markov basis and symbolic computation. However we have many interesting talks of general interest on new developments i
