Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algebraic statistics is the study of the algebraic varieties that correspond to discrete statistical models. Such statistical models are used throughout computational biology, for example to describe the evolution of DNA sequences. This perspective on statistics allows us to bring mathematical techniques to bear and also provides a source of new problems in mathematics.
