Investigating Hardware Injections in LIGO O3 Data: Simulated Signals from a Neutron Star in a Low-Mass X-ray Binary
Jediah Tau, John T. Whelan
During LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's third observing run (O3), simulated continuous gravitational wave (CW) signals were added to the LIGO detectors as hardware (HW) injections, which are phy…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Scorpius X-1 in LIGO O3 Data With Corrected Orbital Ephemeris
John T. Whelan, Rodrigo Tenorio, Jared K. Wofford +10
Improved observational constraints on the orbital parameters of the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius~X-1 were recently published in Killestein et al (2023). In the process, errors we…
Bradley-Terry Modeling with Multiple Game Outcomes with Applications to College Hockey
John T. Whelan, Jacob E. Klein
The Bradley-Terry model has previously been used in both Bayesian and frequentist interpretations to evaluate the strengths of sports teams based on win-loss game results. It has a…
Template Lattices for a Cross-Correlation Search for Gravitational Waves from Scorpius X-1
Katelyn J. Wagner, John T. Whelan, Jared K. Wofford +1
We describe the application of the lattice covering problem to the placement of templates in a search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-Ray binary Scorpius X-1…
Prediction and Evaluation in College Hockey using the Bradley-Terry-Zermelo Model
John T. Whelan, Adam Wodon
We describe the application of the Bradley-Terry model to NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey. A Bayesian construction gives a joint posterior probability distribution for the log-str…
An Analytic Approximation to the Bayesian Detection Statistic for Continuous Gravitational Waves
John J. Bero, John T. Whelan
We consider the Bayesian detection statistic for a targeted search for continuous gravitational waves, known as the -statistic. This is a Bayes factor between signal a…
