    Papers

  • Tensor representations of discrete data

    In preparation, with
    Shaowei Lin,
    Luca Weihs, and
    Piotr Zwiernik.

  • We represent discrete random variables as tensors in a way that allows us to treat any discrete random vector essentially like a binary vector. This enables us to generalize certain known results on the geometry of binary models for arbitrary discrete models.
  • Polynomial constraints on representing entangled qubits as matrix product states

    with
    Jason Morton (2012).

  • @misc{CM12,
    author="Andrew J. Critch and Jason Morton",
    title = "{Polynomial constraints on representing entangled qubits as matrix product states}",
    year = {2012},
    howpublished = "{arXiv:1210.2812}",
    }
    
  • Binary hidden Markov models and varieties

    (2012), to appear in the Journal of Algebraic Statistics

  • @misc{Cri12,
    author="{Andrew J. Critch}",
    title = "{Binary hidden Markov models and varieties}",
    year = {2012},
    howpublished = "{arXiv:1206.0500}",
    }
    
  • A note on the proportionality between some consistency indices in the AHP
  • @misc{BCF10,
    author="Matteo Brunelli and Andrew J. Critch and Michele Fedrizzi",

    in the Atlantic Electronic Journal of Mathematics, vol. 1, iss. 1 (2006), pp. 47-55.

    howpublished = "{B.Sc. Honors thesis, Memorial University of Newfoundland}",
    }
    

 

    Software

  • Tensors.m2 – a Macaulay2 package for studying varieties of tensors and tensor networks.

    with Claudiu Raicu (2012), began at the WFU2012 Macaulay2 developers workshop.

  • Credence – a game using information-theoretic scoring to calibrate players’ subjective belief strengths to more accurately match their success rates.

    with Alexei Andreev and Zachary Alethia (2012).
