A comparison of the galaxy peculiar velocity field with the PSCz gravity field-- A Bayesian hyper-parameter method

open access: yes, 2012
We constructed a Bayesian hyper-parameter statistical method to quantify the difference between predicted velocities derived from the observed galaxy distribution in the \textit{IRAS}-PSC$z$ redshift survey and peculiar velocities measured using ...

Selection, covariance, and Malmquist bias

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1993
The correction for Malmquist bias is generally thought to have the form αΔ 2 , where Δ is the rms fractional error for a given distance indicator and α is a numerical coefficient which depends on the galaxy distribution and other aspects of the problem.

Evaluating target achievements in the public sector: An application or a rare non-parametric DEA and Malmquist indices [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper provides an assessment of the extent to which targets set by a public authority are achieved by its operational units. A rare DEA framework and its subsequent Malmquist indices are applied on data comprising 19 units over a four year period of

The matter distribution in the local Universe as derived from galaxy groups in SDSS DR12 and 2MRS

open access: yes, 2016
Context. Friends-of-friends algorithms are a common tool to detect galaxy groups and clusters in large survey data. In order to be as precise as possible, they have to be carefully calibrated using mock catalogues. Aims.

Biases in Virial Black Hole Masses: An SDSS Perspective

open access: yes, 2008
We compile black hole (BH) masses for $\sim 60,000$ quasars in the redshift range $0.1 \lesssim z \lesssim 4.5$ included in the Fifth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), using virial BH mass estimators based on the \hbeta, \MgII, and ...
