Statistical Applications of Jordan Algebras

by James D. Malley

This monograph brings together my work in mathematical statistics as I have viewed it through the lens of Jordan algebras. Three technical domains are to be seen: applications to random quadratic forms (sums of squares), the investigation of algebraic simplifications of maxi- mum likelihood estimation of patterned covariance matrices, and a more wide- open mathematical exploration of the algebraic arena from which I have drawn the results used in...
