Likelihood geometry of determinantal point processes

Hannah Friedman, Bernd Sturmfels and Maksym Zubkov

Vol. 15 (2024), No. 1, 15–25
Abstract

We study determinantal point processes (DPP) through the lens of algebraic statistics. We count the critical points of the log-likelihood function, and we compute them for small models, thereby disproving a conjecture of Brunel, Moitra, Rigollet and Urschel.
