Statistical Software, Siftware and Astronomy
This paper discusses statistical, data analytic and related software that is useful in the realm of astronomy and spaces sciences. The paper does not seek to be comprehensive, but rather to present a cross section of software used by practicing statisticians. The general layout is rst to discuss commercially available software, then academic research software and nally some possible future dire...
متن کاملStatistical challenges in modern astronomy
Despite centuries of close association, statistics and astronomy are surprisingly distant today. Most observational astronomical research relies on an inadequate toolbox of methodological tools. Yet the needs are substantial: astronomy encounters sophisticated problems involving sampling theory, survival analysis, multivariate classification and analysis, time series analysis, wavelet analysis,...
متن کاملStatistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy Iv
We propose a new method to test for goodness-of-fit of a model for low-count Poisson data. Our approach does not resemble the usual methods of approximations to χ, but instead explicitly uses the full Poisson distribution. First, we propose to use a simple (Poisson-specific) multiscale model to characterize the “mismatch” between a best-fit physical model and the data. Next, we embed this multi...
متن کاملAstronomy and Astrophysics Quiet Sun Coronal Heating: Statistical Model
To describe statistical properties of solar coro-nal heating by microflares, nanoflares, and even smaller events, we consider a cellular automata model subject to uniform small scale driving and dissipation. The model consists of two elements, the magnetic field source supposed to be associated with the small scale hydrodynamic turbulence convected from the photosphere and local dis-sipation of...
متن کاملSome observations on a Kapteyn series
We study the Kapteyn series ∞ ∑ n=1 t Jn (nz). We find a series representation in powers of z and analyze its radius of convergence.
