ASTROSTATISTICS

Natalia Porqueres

University of Oxford
Afternoon

Today's increasingly complex datasets in astronomy require accurate and precise statistical tools to extract scientific information from the data. Most of the researchers in astrophysics will, at some point, perform some form of data analysis. This may be anything from parameter estimation to complex and computationally demanding simulation-based inference for large datasets. This course will provide an understanding of principled data analysis and experience in how to design and apply statistical tools.
