[ArXiv] 2nd week, June 2008
As Prof. Speed said, PCA is prevalent in astronomy, particularly this week. Furthermore, a paper explicitly discusses R, a popular statistics package. Continue reading ‘[ArXiv] 2nd week, June 2008’ »

[ArXiv] A fast Bayesian object detection
This is a quite long paper that I separated from [Arvix] 4th week, Feb. 2008:

A fast Bayesian approach to discrete object detection in astronomical datasets – PowellSnakes I
As the title suggests, it describes Bayesian source detection and provides me a chance to learn the foundation of source detection in astronomy. Continue reading ‘[ArXiv] A fast Bayesian object detection’ »

It seems like I omit papers deserving attentions from time to time. If you find one, please leave a message. Even better if a summary can be left for a separate posting. Continue reading ‘[ArXiv] 3rd week, Feb. 2008’ »
[ArXiv] 2nd week, Jan. 2007
It is notable that there’s an astronomy paper contains AIC, BIC, and Bayesian evidence in the title. The topic of the paper, unexceptionally, is cosmology like other astronomy papers discussed these (statistical) information criteria (I only found a couple of papers on model selection applied to astronomical data analysis without articulating CMB stuffs. Note that I exclude Bayes factor for the model selection purpose).
