Stratified learning: A general‐purpose statistical method for improved learning under covariate shift

open access: yesStatistical Analysis and Data Mining: The ASA Data Science Journal, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract We propose a simple, statistically principled, and theoretically justified method to improve supervised learning when the training set is not representative, a situation known as covariate shift. We build upon a well‐established methodology in causal inference and show that the effects of covariate shift can be reduced or eliminated by ...

Rare Event Classification with Weighted Logistic Regression for Identifying Repeating Fast Radio Bursts

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
An important task in the study of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remains the automatic classification of repeating and nonrepeating sources based on their morphological properties. We propose a statistical model that considers a modified logistic regression to

Distributions of Wide Binary Stars in Theory and in Gaia Data. II. Reconstruction of Sample Probability Density of True Orbit Sizes

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
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

An Efficient Interpolation Technique for Jump Proposals in Reversible-Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo Calculations

open access: yes, 2015
Selection among alternative theoretical models given an observed data set is an important challenge in many areas of physics and astronomy. Reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) is an extremely powerful technique for performing Bayesian model

A Bias-corrected Luminosity Function for Red Supergiant Supernova Progenitor Stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
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 ...

Bayesian Methods for Analysis and Adaptive Scheduling of Exoplanet Observations

open access: yes, 2018
We describe work in progress by a collaboration of astronomers and statisticians developing a suite of Bayesian data analysis tools for extrasolar planet (exoplanet) detection, planetary orbit estimation, and adaptive scheduling of observations. Our work

Distributions of Wide Binary Stars in Theory and in Gaia Data. I. Generalized Ambartsumian (1937) Approach and the Family of Power-law Distributions of Eccentricity

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The orbital parameter space of wide, weakly bound binary stars has been shaped by the still poorly known circumstances of their formation, as well as by subsequent dynamical evolution in parent clusters and in the field.

A Bayesian approach to the analysis of time symmetry in light curves: Reconsidering Scorpius X-1 occultations

open access: yes, 2009
We present a new approach to the analysis of time symmetry in light curves, such as those in the x-ray at the center of the Scorpius X-1 occultation debate.

Insights on the Spectral Signatures of Stellar Activity and Planets from PCA

open access: yes, 2017
Photospheric velocities and stellar activity features such as spots and faculae produce measurable radial velocity signals that currently obscure the detection of sub-meter-per-second planetary signals.

A statistically-selected Chandra sample of 20 galaxy clusters -- II. Gas properties and cool-core/non-cool core bimodality

open access: yes, 2009
We investigate the thermodynamic and chemical structure of the intracluster medium (ICM) across a statistical sample of 20 galaxy clusters analysed with the Chandra X-ray satellite.
