Abstract.
We impose rank one constraints on marginalizations of a tensor given by a simplicial complex. If the tensor is a discrete probability distribution, these rank constraints cause mutual independences among the random variables. These statistical models become toric after a linear change of coordinates. We study their toric ideals with emphasis on random graph models and use the new coordinates to compute ED and ML degrees.
