A crash course on data analysis in asteroseismology
arXiv:1103.5352
Abstract
In this course, I try to provide a few basics required for performing data analysis in asteroseismology. First, I address how one can properly treat times series: the sampling, the filtering effect, the use of Fourier transform, the associated statistics. Second, I address how one can apply statistics for decision making and for parameter estimation either in a frequentist of a Bayesian framework. Last, I review how these basic principle have been applied (or not) in asteroseismology.
