Astrostatistics in Gravitational-wave Astronomy
Date: Tuesday, 9 November 2021
Time: 7:00pm (AEDT)
Speaker: Ilya Mandel (Monash University, Australia)
Contact the organizer: Andriy Olenko a.olenko@latrobe.edu.au
Abstract: Modern astronomical data sets often raise challenges associated with selection biases, accounting for confusion between backgrounds and foregrounds, and performing inference on big data with complex, multi-parameter models. I will discuss some of the techniques that we used to attack these problems, illustrating them with results from gravitational-wave observations of merging black holes … and a bit further afield.
