Computer Simulations and Bayesian Inference in Astrostatistics
Event Start:
2020-11-30T15:00:00
Event End:
2020-11-30T16:00:00
Event Information:
Modern astronomy involves complex data generating mechanisms, complex data collection mechanisms, and complex underlying physics questions, resulting in an abundance of complex statistical challenges. In particular, astronomers may rely on computer simulators to model complex physics, creating a need for statistical methodology that combines these simulators with astrophysical data to perform inference.
