[sage-devel] Re: Efficient algorithm to express symmetric polynomial in terms of elementary ones

2020-04-20 Thread 'Travis Scrimshaw' via sage-devel
Hi Michael, Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you are trying to do. I was thinking you were starting with a polynomial in, say, R. that you know is symmetric and you want its expression in expressed in terms of elementary symmetric functions. Whereas in that paper, they seem to be computing

Thanks for your reply Travis. Here are different computations compared, which take milliseonds up to seconds: https://orbilu.uni.lu/bitstream/10993/21949/2/ChernLib.pdf In contrast, doing a similar computation with the same polynomials using `SymmetricFunctions` takes hours. However, I think t

Hi Michael, The process is to take a polynomial, convert it to the monomial sym func basis, then to the elementary basis (which is outsourced to symmetrica). Do you have some references for these efficient algorithms to convert a polynomial directly to the elementary basis? Best, Travis On

2020-04-20 Thread Shlok Sinha
Hello everyone, I was trying and exploring the 'maximum likelihood' functionality of Sagemath (estimating that value) and I cam across the log likelihood estimation, however I could not find any former documentation for classical estimation using the product method. Does Sagemath currently not h

[sage-devel] Efficient algorithm to express symmetric polynomial in terms of elementary ones

2020-04-20 Thread Michael Jung
Dear Sage developers, currently, I am working on an alternative algorithm to compute characteristic forms. I hope to gain a speed-up here. For this reason, I need to express symmetric polynomials in terms of elementary symmetric functions. At the moment, I am playing around with `SymmetricFunct

Hi all, I recently upgraded the cookiecutter at https://github.com/mmasdeu/sage_package_template and it works with Sage 9.0 and Travis CI. This could be made to work with Github actions as well, and I would push to improving this one instead of sage_sample. Note that something like sage_sample
