- Jobs
- Astrostatistics and astroinformatics are young fields but targeted jobs are emerging rapidly. We list here relevant positions from the American Astronomical Society Job Register, and invite ASAIP members and employers to inform the Editors of other openings. Note that the job descriptions here are not complete; see the Web links for official information.
- AsAi in the Public Eye
- This a collection of items — TED talks, news articles, cross-disciplinary articles and discussions, even cartoons — where astrostatistics and astroinformatics has appeared in the non-technical literature.
Articles
- Blogs and forums
- Links to, and recent activity in, blogs and discussion forums across the Web. Some are specifically oriented towards astronomy, while others treat broader issues in statistics and informatics. These sites can be searched using the `Search ASAIP-reated sites’ box at the upper right of this page.
- Kaggle-like competitions
- A number of data analysis challenges and competitions have been announced in recent years to address difficult and important problems in statistical and computational astronomy. Most involve issues arising in cosmology. Older entries are obtained from the Cosmology meets Machine Learning Uninstitute.
- Recent books
- At present, this page presents an annotated list of books on statistical and computational methodology directly oriented towards astronomy. In the future, selected textbooks and monographs in more general methodology will be added.
Recent Papers
