Estimation of parameters of gravitational waves from coalescing binaries

Abstract

The paper deals with the estimation of parameters of gravitational waves from coalescing binaries. It explains the discrepancy between the Monte carlo simulations and the covariance matrix. We include the post-Newtonian as well as the Newtonian case.
