Nested sampling (NS) computes parameter posterior distributions and makes Bayesian model comparison computationally feasible. Its strengths are the unsupervised navigation of complex, potentially multi-modal posteriors until a well-defined termination ...

International audienceThis chapter is devoted to two objectives. The first one is to answer the request expressed by attendees of the first Astrostatistics School (Annecy, October 2013) to be provided with an elementary vademecum of statistics that would

Recent advances in Bayesian inference in cosmology and astroparticle physics thanks to the multinest algorithm [PDF]
We present a new algorithm, called MultiNest, which is a highly efficient alternative to traditional Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling of posterior distributions.

Euclid preparation: LXVIII. Extracting physical parameters from galaxies with machine learning [PDF]
Euclid Collaboration: I. Kovačić et al.The Euclid mission is generating a vast amount of imaging data in four broadband filters at a high angular resolution. This data will allow for the detailed study of mass, metallicity, and stellar populations across

Asteroid phase curves and phase coloring effect using the ATLAS survey data [PDF]
We determined phase curves for 301 272 asteroids in the orange filter and 280 953 in the cyan filter from the latest ATLAS Solar System Catalog V2 (SSCAT-2).

Imputation and estimation under nonignorable nonresponse for household surveys with missing covariate information [PDF]
In this paper we develop and apply new methods for handling not missing at random (NMAR) nonresponse. We assume a model for the outcome variable under complete response and a model for the response probability, which is allowed to depend on the outcome ...

Wide binary stars are important for testing alternative models of gravitation in the weak-field regime and understanding the statistical outcomes of dynamical interactions in the general Galactic field. The Gaia mission’s collection of weakly bound pairs

A Bias-corrected Luminosity Function for Red Supergiant Supernova Progenitor Stars
The apparent tension between the luminosity functions of red supergiant (RSG) stars and of RSG progenitors of Type II supernovae (SNe) is often referred to as the RSG problem and it motivated some to suggest that many RSGs end their life without an SN ...
