The AstroStat Slog » introductory http://groundtruth.info/AstroStat/slog Weaving together Astronomy+Statistics+Computer Science+Engineering+Intrumentation, far beyond the growing borders Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:05:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 en hourly 1 arxiv list http://groundtruth.info/AstroStat/slog/2009/arxiv-list/ http://groundtruth.info/AstroStat/slog/2009/arxiv-list/#comments Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:18:36 +0000 hlee http://groundtruth.info/AstroStat/slog/?p=4122 When I begin to subscribe arXiv/astro-ph and arXiv/stat, although only for a year I listed astro-ph papers featuring relatively advanced statistics, I also kept more papers relevant to astrostatistics beyond astro-ph or introducing hot topics in statistics and computer science for astronomical data applications. While creating my own arXiv as follows, I had a hope to write up short introductions of statistics that are unlikely known to most of astronomers (like my MADS) and matching subjects/targets in astronomy. I thought such effort could spawn new collaborations or could expand understanding of statistics among astronomers (see Magic Crystal). Well, I couldn’t catch up the growth rate and it’s about time to terminate the hope. However, I thought some papers can be useful to some slog subscribers. I hope they do.
