| contents | We consider the cone of concentration matrices related to linear concentration models and Wishart laws. We prove that this cone is a Monge--Ampère domain and that the log-likelihood function generates its potential function at the identity. The tangent sheaf carries the structure of a pre-Lie algebra. We also show that the moduli space of diagonal matrices parameterizing the polyhedral spectrahedron satisfies the Associativity Equations, a notion central in mirror symmetry, and that its compactification is a toric variety associated to a permutohedron, reminiscent to Losev--Manin spaces. Finally we introduce Frobenius residuals: these are connected components of the compactified Frobenius manifold of diagonal matrices, generated by the Białynicki--Birula cells. We prove that the Maximum Likelihood degree is indexed by components lying on those Frobenius residuals. |
