Making high-order asymptotics practical: correcting goodness-of-fit test for astronomical count data
Xiaoli Li, Yang Chen, Xiao-Li Meng +3
The C statistic is a widely used likelihood-ratio statistic for model fitting and goodness-of-fit assessments with Poisson data in high-energy physics and astrophysics. Although it…
TD-CARMA: Painless, accurate, and scalable estimates of gravitational-lens time delays with flexible CARMA processes
Antoine D. Meyer, David A. van Dyk, Hyungsuk Tak +1
Cosmological parameters encoding our understanding of the expansion history of the Universe can be constrained by the accurate estimation of time delays arising in gravitationally…
Incorporating Uncertainties in Atomic Data Into the Analysis of Solar and Stellar Observations: A Case Study in Fe XIII
Xixi Yu, Giulio Del Zanna, David C. Stenning +6
Information about the physical properties of astrophysical objects cannot be measured directly but is inferred by interpreting spectroscopic observations in the context of atomic p…
The ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters XIV: Bayesian Single-Population Analysis of 69 Globular Clusters
R. Wagner-Kaiser, A. Sarajedini, T. von Hippel +7
We use Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging from the ACS Treasury Survey to determine fits for single population isochrones of 69 Galactic globular clusters. Using robust Bayesian…
On methods for correcting for the look-elsewhere effect in searches for new physics
Sara Algeri, David A. van Dyk, Jan Conrad +1
The search for new significant peaks over a energy spectrum often involves a statistical multiple hypothesis testing problem. Separate tests of hypothesis are conducted at differen…
Statistics: Handle with Care, Detecting Multiple Model Components with the Likelihood Ratio Test
Rostislav Protassov, David A. van Dyk, Alanna Connors +2
The likelihood ratio test (LRT) and the related test, do not (even asymptotically) adhere to their nominal and distributions in many statistical tests common in astro…
