It will be useful collecting tutorials from both professions.

From statistics arxiv:

  • [stat.CO:0801.3387] Contemplating Evidence: properties, extensions of, and alternatives to Nested Sampling N. Chopin &C. Robert
  • [math.ST:0801.4329] Estimators of Long-Memory: Fourier versus Wavelets G. Fay et.al. (not comprehensible but the title is more than interesting)

From astro-ph:

  • [astro-ph:0801.4041] Quantifying parameter errors due to the peculiar velocities of type Ia supernovae R. Ali Vanderveld
  • [astro-ph:0801.4233] Effects of the interaction between dark energy and dark matter on cosmological parameters J. He & B. Wang
  • [astro-ph:0801.4889] Temporal variability and statistics of the Strehl ratio in adaptive-optics images S. Gladysz
  • [astro-ph:0801.4751] Low-Luminosity Gamma-Ray Bursts as a Distinct GRB Population:A Monte Carlo Analysis F Virgili, E Liang, &B Zhang
  • [astro-ph:0801.4759] Optical afterglow luminosities in the Swift epoch: confirming clustering and bimodality M. Nardini, G. Ghisellini & G. Ghirlanda

(The last two papers mentioned Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and probability)
