Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy - Eric D. Feigelson - Hardcover

Digital sky surveys, data from orbiting telescopes, and advances in computation have increased the quantity and quality of astronomical data by several orders of magnitude in recent years. Making sense of this wealth of data requires sophisticated statistical and data analytic techniques. Fortunately, statistical methodologies have similarly made great strides in recent years. Powerful synergies thus emerge when astronomers and statisticians join in examining astrostatistical problems and approaches. The volume focuses on several themes:? As in earlier volumes in this series, research contributions discussing topics in one field are joined with commentary from scholars in the other. Short contributed papers covering dozens of astrostatistical topics are also included.Feigelson, Eric D. is the author of 'Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy - Eric D. Feigelson - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780387979113 and ISBN 0387979115.
