Title: Categorical notions in statistics
Speaker: Peter McCullagh
Chair: Alex Simpson
Date: June 5th, 2020
Abstract:
I will talk about three areas in which categorical thinking has helped to clarify statistical ideas.
The first is in the mundane area of sampling, and specifically the importance of inheritance in the definition of symmetric functions. Inheritance leads directly to k-statistics and the classical cumulants. The second is related to symmetric functions for spectral samples or eigenvalues. Inheritance leads to a family of polynomial symmetric functions, called spectral k-statistics that are closely related in the limit to free cumulants. The third area is related to factorial models and is closely connected with representation theory for injective maps.
