Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy II Hardback
Edited by G. Jogesh Babu, Eric D. Feigelson
Hardback
Description
Modern astronomical research faces a vast range of statistical issues which have spawned a revival in methodological activity among astronomers.
The Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy II conference brought astronomers and statisticians together to discuss methodological issues of common interest.
Time series analysis, image analysis, Bayesian methods, Poisson processes, nonlinear regression, maximum likelihood, multivariate classification, and wavelet and multiscale analyses were all important themes.
Many problems were introduced at the conference in the context of large-scale astronomical projects including LIGO, AXAF, XTE, Hipparcos, and digitised sky surveys.
As such, this volume will be of interest to researchers and advanced students in both fields - astronomers seeking exposure to recent developments in statistics, and statisticians interested in confronting new problems.
