Digging Deeper and Faster: Algorithms for Computationally Limited Problems in Time Domain Astronomy from 12 December 2011 08:30 AM to 13 December 2011 08:30 AM — Caltech, Pasadena CA,
There are many areas of astronomy where the sensitivity of searches for some types of signals is computationally limited, and either faster computers or better algorithms would lead to more discoveries in the same massive data sets or data streams. Examples include gravitational-wave data analysis, or the rapidly developing field of synoptic sky surveys, where transient signals from a variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena must be detected and characterized in (near) real-time. This workshop is a part of the Keck Institute for Space Studies program on “Digging Deeper: Algorithms for Computationally-Limited Searches in Astronomy”. Our goal is to review some of the work done to date, and focus on some of the outstanding issues for the future studies. The workshop is open to anyone interested, and there is no registration fee. However, a registration is mandatory, for the logistical purposes, as the venue size is limited. Please register at http://www.astro.caltech.edu/digging/ . The (evolving) program and further details will be posted on that website.

Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy II, 1996 from 03 August 2001 06:10 PM to 04 August 2001 06:10 PM — University Park PA,
Modern astronomical research faces a vast range of statistical issues which have spawned a revival in methodological activity among astronomers. The Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy II conference brought astronomers and statisticians together to discuss methodological issues of common interest. Time series analysis, image analysis, Bayesian methods, Poisson processes, nonlinear regression, maximum likelihood, multivariate classification, and wavelet and multiscale analyses were all important themes. Many problems were introduced at the conference in the context of large-scale astronomical projects including LIGO, AXAF, XTE, Hipparcos, and digitised sky surveys. As such, this volume will be of interest to researchers and advanced students in both fields – astronomers seeking exposure to recent developments in statistics, and statisticians interested in confronting new problems.
Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy III, 2001 05 December 2001 06:10 PM — University Park PA,
Digital sky surveys, high-precision astrometry from satellite data, deep-space data from orbiting telescopes, and the like have all increased the quantity and quality of astronomical data by orders of magnitude per year for several years. Making sense of this wealth of data requires sophisticated statistical techniques. Fortunately, statistical methodologies have similarly made great strides in recent years. Powerful synergies thus emerge when astronomers and statisticians join in examining astrostatistical problems and approaches. The book begins with an historical overview and tutorial articles on basic cosmology for statisticians and the principles of Bayesian analysis for astronomers. As in earlier volumes in this series, research contributions discussing topics in one field are joined with commentary from scholars in the other. Thus, for example, an overview of Bayesian methods for Poissonian data is joined by discussions of planning astronomical observations with optimal efficiency and nested models to deal with instrumental effects. The principal theme for the volume is the statistical methods needed to model fundamental characteristics of the early universe on its largest scales.
Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy IV from 10 June 2006 06:15 PM to 14 June 2006 06:15 PM — University Park PA,

Qualitative interpretations (conceptual models) are complemented with quantification (numerical models, both, deterministic and stochastic). This has been the main task of mathematical geoscientists during the last forty years: to establish new frontiers and new challenges in the study and understanding of the natural world.

Adaptive Data Analysis and Sparsity from 28 January 2013 12:25 PM to 01 February 2013 12:25 PM — Los Angeles CA USA,
[This is a short program of the Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics at UCLA] Data analysis is important and highly successful throughout science and engineering, indeed in any field that deals with time-dependent signals. For nonlinear and nonstationary data (i.e., data generated by a nonlinear, time-dependent process), however, current data analysis methods have significant limitations, especially for very large datasets. Recent research has addressed these limitations for data that has a sparse representation (i.e., for data that can be described by a only a few nonzero parameters) by exploiting methods such as compressed sensing, TV-based denoising, multiscale analysis, synchrosqueezed wavelet transform, nonlinear optimization, randomized algorithms and statistical methods. This workshop will bring together researchers from mathematics, signal processing, computer science and data application fields to promote and expand this research direction. Determination of trend and instantaneous frequency for nonlinear and non-stationary data are examples of the topics that the workshop will address. This workshop will include a poster session; a request for posters will be sent to registered participants in advance of the workshop.

Modern Statistical and Computational for Analysis of Kepler Data from 10 June 2013 08:20 AM to 18 June 2013 08:20 AM — Research Triangle NC USA,
[This is a program of SAMSI, the NSF-supported Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute. SAMSI runs high-quality cross-disciplinary research workshops for many fields, including astrophysics. Travel funding for U.S. participants is often available.] The discovery of planets orbiting other stars (exoplanets) in the past two decades has demonstrated that nature often produces planetary systems quite different from our own. NASA’s Kepler mission has been observing over 190,000 stars nearly continuously since 2009. Kepler’s high-precision photometery is revolutionizing multiple subfields (exoplanets, astroseismology, variable stars, etc.), but also raising several new statistical challenges. This three week SAMSI mini-research program will provide a venue for astronomers and astrostatisticians to share experience with statistical techniques and to help existing best practices spread amongst the community. Simultaneously, this SAMSI min-research program will provide an opportunity for statisticians, mathematicians and computer scientists to interact much more closely with astronomers than is otherwise practical. We hope that the statisticians will be able to help the astronomers in improving their current statistical tools, and also in developing new techniques geared towards analysis of exoplanet data.
