iid2022: A Workshop on Statistical Methods for Event Data in Astronomy

Abstract

We review the iid2022 workshop on statistical methods for X-ray and $\gamma$-ray astronomy and high--energy astrophysics event data in astronomy, held in Guntersville, AL, on Nov. 15-18 2022. New methods for faint source detection, spatial point processes, variability and spectral analysis, and machine learning are discussed. Ideas for future developments of advanced methodology are shared.
