Workshop
Tropical Gaussians
- Ngoc Tran (University of Texas at Austin, USA)
Abstract
Three months ago Bernd Sturmfels asked me "What would be the analogue of the Gaussian distribution in tropical statistics?" I let out a sigh, and before I could give him a lecture, Skype hung up on me. Three months on, and here I am to deliver the answer. That is, in this lecture, I will give and review several recipes for generalizing the Gaussian measure to tropical world, and point out various open research directions.
