| #### D.15.9.2 logHessian Procedure from library `maxlike.lib` (see maxlike_lib). Usage: logHessian(I,u); ideal I, intvec u I represents the algebraic statistical model and u is the data vector under considerarion. Return: matrix: a modified version of the Hessian matrix of the loglikelihood function defined by u and (the given generators of) I. Note: This matrix has the following property: if it is negative definite at a point, then the actual Hessian is also negative definite at that point. The same holds for positive definiteness. Example:
    LIB "maxlike.lib";
    ring r = 0,(x,y),dp;
    poly pA = -10x+2y+25;
    poly pC = 8x-y+25;
    poly pG = 11x-2y+25;
    poly pT = -9x+y+25;
    intvec u = 10,14,15,10;
    ideal I = pA,pC,pG,pT;
    matrix H = logHessian(I,u); H;
    ==> H[1,1]=-689040x3+314898x2y-44808xy2+1974y3+9619350x2-2949075xy+240975y2+6\
