Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy [E-Book] / edited by Eric D. Feigelson, G. Jogesh Babu
Modern astronomy has been characterized by an enormous growth in data acquisition - from new technologies in telescopes, detectors, and computation. One can now compile catalogs of tens or hundreds of millions of stars or galaxies and databases from satellite-based observations are reaching terabit...
