AST 4031: Interpretation and Analysis of Astrophysical Data
Instructor: Claudia Scarlata
I had the opportunity to be a part (as a TA) of the first ever Astro-statistics course offered by the Univ. of Minnesota in Spring '15 and Spring '17. This course covered majority of modern statistical topics, but from an astrophysical perspective:
- Probability Theory
- Parametric and non-parametric Density Estimation
- Cluster Finding
- Correlation Functions
- Reduction of Dimensionality
- EM Algorithm
- Maximum Likelihood Estimators
- Regression
- Bayesian Analysis
- MCMC Analysis
- Manifold Learning Techniques
