Abstract
Algebraic structures arise naturally in a broad variety of statistical problems, and numerous fruitful connections have been made between algebra and discrete mathematics and research on statistical methodology. The workshop took up this theme with a particular focus on algebraic approaches to graphical models, causality, axiomatic systems for independence and non-parametric models.
