4 Introduction Introduction Consider a 2 3 contingency table: p ij is probability and x ij is observation. Consider the independence model p ij = a i b j. p 11 p 12 p 13 p 21 p 22 p 23 The set of sufficient statistics is {x i+ } and {x +j }. (x i+ = j x ij etc.) A minimal Markov basis for this model is, for example, M 1 = , M 2 = M 2 is obtained by permutation of columns 2 and 3 of M 1. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

5 Introduction Introduction Similarly, for I J table, a Markov basis is obtained by M 1 = and its permutations of rows and columns. (i.e. generated by a single move if symmetry is considered.) However algorithms obtaining Gröbner bases and Markov bases do not utilize the symmetry at present. For a larger table, algorithms just take longer. If I = J, we can also consider a permutation of axes x ij x ji. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

7 Introduction Introduction Our problem is... [Aoki & Takemura (2008) J.Symb.Comp.] Determine all permutations of cells that preserve a given configuration determining a toric ideal. In particular, for the configuration associated with hierarchical models of contingency tables. We call the set of allowable permutations the group of invariance. An interesting example is Sudoku invariance group (explained later) T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

8 Introduction Introduction Is our definition of the group of invariance useful? Why look at the largest symmetry? A configuration usually has an obvious symmetry. However it is difficult to prove that it is indeed the largest. (i.e. the is no more symmetry than the obvious symmetry.) Mathematically it makes sense to look at the largest symmetry. The result of this talk shows that our definition is useful, leading to a mathematically meaningful questions and results. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

10 Group of invariance of hierarchical models Definition of hierarchical models (1/2) m: number of factors of contingency tables. I j = [I j ] = {1,..., I j }: the set of levels of the j-th factor (j = 1,..., m). I = m j=1 I j: the set of cells. : an abstract simplicial complex of [m] = {1,..., m}. red : maximal simplices in w.r.t. inclusion order. For example, if m = 3 and = {, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {2, 3}}, then red = {{1, 2}, {2, 3}} T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

11 Group of invariance of hierarchical models Definition of hierarchical models (2/2). Definition.. The hierarchical model specified by is the set of probability distributions (p i ) i I written in a log-linear form... log p i = D red φ D (i D ), i D = (i j ) j D. For example, let m = 3 and red = {{1, 2}, {2, 3}} Then the hierarchical model is, by putting (i, j, k) = (i 1, i 2, i 3 ), log p ijk = α ij + β jk. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

12 Group of invariance of hierarchical models Definition of group of invariance (1/2) Let S I be the set of all permutations on the cells I. Any g S I acts on the linear space Q I (i.e. tables) by (gθ) i = θ g 1 (i) for θ Q I. Now recall that the hierarchical model is log p i = D φ D(i D ). Define a linear subspace of Q I, the range of parameters, by { } r( ) = φ D (i D ) φ D Q I D. D red (same as the row space of the configuration.) T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

13 Group of invariance of hierarchical models Definition of group of invariance (2/2). Definition.. The group of invariance G r( ) is the setwise stabilizer of r( ):... G r( ) := {g S I g(r( )) = r( )}. Remark that the subspace r( ) is dual to the kernel of the sufficient statistics in Q I, which contains Markov bases. The group of invariance of the kernel is the same as G r( ). It is a linear-algebraic notion. It can be easily seen that G r( ) also acts on the set of fibers. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

14 Group of invariance of hierarchical models Some known results For the completely independent model (red = {{1},..., {m}}), the group of invariance was derived by [Aoki & Takemura, JSC2008]. In their paper, cases of I J K no three-factor model and the Hardy-Weinberg model (not hierarchical) were also solved. [Bailey et al. Proc. London Math. Soc. 1983] studied a related concept for design of experiments. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

15 Example Group of invariance of hierarchical models Consider the two-way independence model log p ij = α i + β j. If I 1 = I 2, the the group of invariance is known to be G r( ) = S I1 S I2, the direct product of the row and column permutations. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

16 Wreath product Wreath product T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

17 Wreath product Wreath product Wreath product naturally arises in our problem. In general, the wreath product of two group actions (G, X) and (H, Y) is formally defined by HwrG = G H X (acts on X Y), where H X denotes all functions from X to H. Let us consider a table A B C D E F. Let S I1 and S I2 be the permutation group of rows and columns, resp. Then, the wreath product S I2 wrs I1 is generated from Permutation of rows, and A B C Permutation of columns in each row: F D E. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

18 Wreath product Why the wreath product arises? Now we explain why the wreath product arises in our problem. Consider the row-effect-only model: log p ij = α i. More visually, consider a table α 1 α 1 α 1 α 2 α 2 α 2. Then the wreath product S I2 wrs I1 preserves the range the row-effect-only model. Similarly S I1 wrs I2 preserves the range of the column-effect-only model. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

19 Wreath product Since the range of the independence model is the vector sum of the above two models, (S I1 wrs I2 ) (S I2 wrs I1 ) is a subgroup of of G r( ) for the two-way independence model. Equality holds if I 1 = I 2. Furthermore (even when I 1 = I 2.) (S I1 wrs I2 ) (S I2 wrs I1 ) = S I1 S I2. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

20 Main theorem Main theorem T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

21 Main Theorem 1 Main theorem. Theorem (Main Theorem 1).. Under a weak assumption on I, the group of invariance is given by G r( ) = (S wrs ID C I D ), D red( ). where S ID is the set of all permutations on I D... Our assumption is I D are mutually distinct, and I j = I {j} > 2 except for at most one j {1,..., m}. Even if the assumption fails, the inclusion G r( ) D (S I D C wrs I D ) is always true. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

22 Main theorem Generalized wreath product We want more explicit expression of the right-hand side. Wreath product is generalized for an indexed set of group actions (G ρ, X ρ ) ρ P, where P is a poset. The generalized wreath product is defined by ρ P (G ρ) X A(ρ) [Wells1976], where A(ρ) denotes the ancestor set of ρ. The generalized version is useful for our problem, because it allows us to sample a random element of G r( ). T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

23 Main Theorem 2 Main theorem. Theorem (Main theorem 2; can be deduced from Bailey et al. 1983).. The intersection is rewritten as a generalized wreath product: ID C D red( )(S wrs I D ) = (S Iρ ) I A(ρ), ρ P. where the poset P is defined as follows... For each i [m], define (red )(i) := {D red D i}. We write i j if (red )(i) = (red )(j). P = [m]/, the quotient space. Define a partial order ρ ρ in P if (red )(ρ) (red )(ρ ). T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

24 Example Main theorem Let m = 6 and red = {{1, 4, 5}, {2, 5, 6}, {3, 4, 6}} From Theorem 1 and 2, the group of invariance is G r( ) = (S I1 ) I {4,5} (S I2 ) I {5,6} (S I3 ) I {4,6} S I4 S I5 S I6 T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

25 Main theorem Sudoku contingency table (1/4) Sudoku is a puzzle on 9 9 contingency table. Each row, column and 3 3 block contains the 9 digits exactly once. For a sudoku solution, we define a table (x ijklc ) by k l x ijklc = 1 if i j c, and 0 otherwise. i:band, j:row, k:stack, l:column, c:color. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

26 Main theorem Sudoku contingency table (2/4) We add an additional factor (dimension) corresponding to the color. For example, if c = 3 then we put a single frequency on the third level of the factor c. Then a sudoku solution has a one-to-one correspondence with (x ijklc ). Adding an additional dimension corresponds to Lawrence lifting. Ordinary Lawrence lifting has just two levels in the additional dimension. Our case is a higher-order Lawrence lifting with 9 levels. The present treatment of Sudoku is different from the approach found in David A. Cox s tutorial (2007) on Gröbner basis approach to Sudoku. (He does not consider Lawrence lifting.) T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

27 Main theorem Sudoku contingency table (3/4) A Sudoku solution satisfies x ij++c = x i+k+c = x ++klc = x ijkl+ = 1. This is a fiber of the model, where red = {{1, 2, 5}, {1, 3, 5}, {3, 4, 5}, {1, 2, 3, 4}} We call it the Sudoku model. 4 T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

28 Main theorem Sudoku contingency table (4/4) Unfortunately, the Sudoku model does not satisfy the assumption in our main theorem because I {1,2,5} = I {1,3,5} = I {3,4,5} = I {1,2,3,4} = 81. But, by the main theorem, we can deduce that G r( ) contains S I1 (S I2 ) I 1 S I3 (S I4 ) I 3 S I5. This group consists of permutation of bands, permutation of rows in each band, permutation of stacks, permutation of columns in each stack, permutation of digits. But the transposition (i, j, k, l) (k, l, i, j) is not included here. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

29 Main theorem How about classical Latin squares? (Just one block of Sudoku). By Lawrence lifting it corresponds to a table. The model is the no-three-factor-interaction model. A Latin square is an element of the fiber with all marginals equal to 1. Researchers are interested in non-isomorphic Latin squares, i.e., in orbits of obvious group actions. T. SEI (Univ.

31 Perturbation method (for a proof of theorems) Outline of the proof (simplest case) Consider 2 3 independence model again. The group of invariance is S I1 S I2. i.e. permutation of rows and columns, resp. [Proof] Let θ = r( ) and g G r( ). Since gθ must be or , we have g S I 2 wrs I1. Similarly, let θ = r( ) and g G r( ). Then we can show that g S I1 wrs I2. As already mentioned, (S I2 wrs I1 ) (S I1 wrs I2 ) = S I1 S I2. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

32 Perturbation method (for a proof of theorems) Outline of the proof (not trivial case 1/2) Now we proceed to 2 4 independence table. Let θ = Then gθ is or ? No! because gθ can be It needs a perturbation method. Now we explain it. ( model) T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

33 Perturbation method (for a proof of theorems) Outline of the proof (not trivial case 2/2) Now we prove the 2 4 case by using the perturbation method. Let θ = Put φ := gθ. Then φ r( ).. Then θ r( ). generic We can write φ ij = a ij + b ij, where a ij {0, 100}, b ij {0, 1, 2, 4}. Since φ 11 + φ 22 φ 12 φ 21 = 0, we have a 11 + a 22 a 12 a 21 = 0 and b 11 + b 22 b 12 b 21 = 0. By careful consideration, we obtain a 11 = a 12 = a 13 = a 14 {0, 100} and a 21 = a 22 = a 23 = a 24 {0, 100}. Hence g S 4 wrs 2. Similarly, from b 1j = b 2j, we have g S 2 wrs 4 and so g S 2 S 4. These observations are the perturbation method! T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

34 Perturbation method (for a proof of theorems) Outline of the proof Preliminary 1 (difference operator) Let j be j-th difference operator defined by ( j θ) i = θ (i1,...,i j,...,i m ) θ (i1,...,1,...,i m ). For any E [m], define E = j E j. Fact: Let η F (i) depend only on i F. Then E η F = 0 if E F. Fact: Let be another simplicial complex. Then r( ) = r( ) ker( E ). E \ T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

35 Perturbation method (for a proof of theorems) Outline of the proof Preliminary 2 (perturbation method) Construct a generic table θ = {θ i }. θ i = φ D (i), where φ D depends only on i D, D red in such a way that the following condition holds: Fix (sufficiently large) positive integer b. If a quantity z satisfies z = D i c D,iφ D (i) with c D,i { b,..., b}, then the coefficients {c D,i } are uniquely determined from z. Perturbation lemma: There exists such a table θ. (See the next page.) T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

36 Perturbation method (for a proof of theorems) Outline of the proof. Lemma (Perturbation lemma)....1 Let n, b be positive integers. There exist n positive integers (Y l ) n l=1 such that a map { b,, b} n (c l ) n l=1 n c l Y l Z l=1 is injective...2 Furthermore, we can choose n vectors Y (j) = (Y (j) l ) such that they. span Q n and each of them satisfies the above condition.... Proof Use van der Monde determinant. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

37 Perturbation method (for a proof of theorems) Outline of the proof Now we prove Theorem 1: G r( ) = D red (S I D C wrs I D ). We employ induction on K = red. For the case K = 1, it is essentially the same as the row-factor-only model log p ij = α i for 2-way tables. And therefore we have G r( ) = S ID C wrs I D. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

38 Perturbation method (for a proof of theorems) Outline of the proof We next consider K 2 and choose D red such that I D = min F red I F. Let θ be a generic element in r( ) Fix g G r( ). Then gθ r( ). Define a simplicial complex by red = (red ) \ D. Let E \. Then ( E (gθ)) i depends only on i D because other terms vanish. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

39 Perturbation method (for a proof of theorems) Outline of the proof However, the quantity ( E (gθ)) i is a linear combination of {φ F (j)}. Its coefficients are uniquely determined by ( E (gθ)) i (perturbation lemma). The above two facts imply that ( E (gθ)) i is a linear combination only of {φ D (j)}. Now by the second part of the perturbation lemma, any table θ in r( ) is spanned by generic tables in r( ). Therefore E (g θ) = 0 and g θ r( ) ( E ker( E ) ) = r( ). T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

40 Perturbation method (for a proof of theorems) Outline of the proof Hence g maps r( ) into itself. From the assumption of induction, we have g (S wrs IF C I F ) = F red F red,f D (S IF C wrs I F ). It remains to prove g S ID C wrs I D, which is not too difficult. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

41 Summary Summary and future works We have proved that The group of invariance is determined (Theorem 1). The group is rewritten by generalized wreath product (Theorem 2). It enables us to draw a random sample from the group of invariance. (A subset of) Sudoku invariance group is automatically obtained. Our future works are Remove the assumption of Theorem 1. In particular, give a natural conjecture for this problem. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

42 Summary Summary and future works Suggestions from sudoku example Sudoku suggests a new connection between Markov bases (Diaconis-Stumbles school) and experimental design (Pistone-Wynn school) of algebraic statistics In experimental design, Gröbner bases have been used to clarify confounding and identification problems given a particular (typically non-regular) design. A large part of literature on experimental design looks at finding a good design for a given set of constraints (number of runs, number of treatments etc.) It is very similar to finding a good sudoku puzzle. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45

43 Summary Summary and future works But we saw that a sudoku puzzle is an element of a particular fiber (with all marginals = 1) of a hierarchical model. If we know the MB for the fiber, we can construct a Markov chain over the set of sudoku solutions (a paper by Fontana and Rogantine in Pistone volume.) For ( 4) sudoku, Hisayuki Hara just obtained the MB. We can now walk around Sudoku solutions! Standard sudoku is a big challenge. T. SEI (Univ. Tokyo) Perturbation method Dec. 16, / 45
