Wasserman (CMU | | Abstract: | I present here a review of past and present multi-disciplinary research of the Pittsburgh Computational AstroStatistics (PiCA) group. This group is dedicated to developing fast and efficient statistical algorithms for analysing huge astronomical data sources. I begin with a short review of multi-resolutional kd-trees which are the building blocks for many of our algorithms. For example, quick range queries and fast n-point correlation functions. I will present new results from the use of Mixture Models (Connolly et al. 2000) in density estimation of multi-color data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Specifically, the selection of quasars and the automated identification of X-ray sources. I will also present a brief overview of the False Discovery Rate (FDR) procedure (Miller et al. 2001a) and show how it has been used in the detection of ``Baryon Wiggles’’ in the local galaxy power spectrum and source identification in radio data. Finally, I will look forward to new research on an automated Bayes Network anomaly detector and the possible use of the Locally Linear Embedding algorithm (LLE; Roweis & Saul 2000) for spectral classification of SDSS spectra. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0110230 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
