An implicitization challenge for binary factor analysis

We use tropical geometry to compute the multidegree and Newton polytope of the hypersurface of a statistical model with two hidden and four observed binary random variables, solving an open question stated by Drton, Sturmfels and Sullivant in (Drton et al., 2009, Ch. VI, Problem 7.7). The model is o...
