Statistical Searches for Microlensing Events in Large, Non-uniformly Sampled Time-domain Surveys: a Test Using Palomar Transient Factory Data
Many photometric time-domain surveys are driven by specific goals, such as searches for supernovae or transiting exoplanets, which set the cadence with which fields are re-imaged. In the case of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF), several sub-surveys are conducted in parallel, leading to nonuniform sampling over its ∼20, 000 deg2 footprint. While the median 7.26 deg2 PTF field has been imaged ...
متن کاملThe Palomar transient factory
Astrophysics is transforming from a data-starved to a data-swamped discipline, fundamentally changing the nature of scientific inquiry and discovery. New technologies are enabling the detection, transmission, and storage of data of hitherto unimaginable quantity and quality across the electromagnetic, gravity and particle spectra. The observational data obtained during this decade alone will su...
متن کاملDownsampling Non-Uniformly Sampled Data
Decimating a uniformly sampled signal a factor D involves low-pass antialias filtering with normalized cutoff frequency 1/D followed by picking out every Dth sample. Alternatively, decimation can be done in the frequency domain using the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm, after zero-padding the signal and truncating the FFT. We outline three approaches to decimate nonuniformly sampled sign...
متن کاملFrequency-Domain Identification of Continuous-Time Output Error Models from Non-Uniformly Sampled Data
This paper treats the identification of continuous-time output error (OE) models based on sampled data. The exact method for doing this is well known both for data given in the time domains, but this approach becomes somewhat complex, especially for non-uniformly sampled data. In this paper we assume that the system is fed with a zero order hold input signal and that the sampling rate is so hig...
متن کاملA statistical test for outlier identification in data envelopment analysis
In the use of peer group data to assess individual, typical or best practice performance, the effective detection of outliers is critical for achieving useful results. In these ‘‘deterministic’’ frontier models, statistical theory is now mostly available. This paper deals with the statistical pared sample method and its capability of detecting outliers in data envelopment analysis. In the prese...
