An alternative statistical interpretation for the apparent plateaus in the duration distributions of GRBs

Joshua Alexander Osborne, Christopher Michael Bryant, Fatemeh Bagheri +1

The existence of a plateau in the short-duration tail of the observed distribution of cosmological Long-soft Gamma Ray Bursts (LGRBs) has been argued as the first direct evidence o…

Are there radio-loud and radio-quiet Gamma-Ray Bursts?

Joshua Alexander Osborne, Fatemeh Bagheri, Amir Shahmoradi

The potential existence of two separate classes of Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (LGRBs) with and without radio afterglow emission, corresponding to radio-bright/loud and radio-da…

How unbiased statistical methods lead to biased scientific discoveries: A case study of the Efron-Petrosian statistic applied to the luminosity-redshift evolution of Gamma-Ray Bursts

Christopher Bryant, Joshua Alexander Osborne, Amir Shahmoradi

Statistical methods are frequently built upon assumptions that limit their applicability to certain problems and conditions. Failure to recognize these limitations can lead to conc…

A Multilevel Empirical Bayesian Approach to Estimating the Unknown Redshifts of 1366 BATSE Catalog Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts

Joshua A. Osborne, Amir Shahmoradi, Robert J. Nemiroff

We present a catalog of the probabilistic redshift estimates and for 1366 individual Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (LGRBs) detected by the Burst And Transient Source Experiment (B…
