Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

Goodness-of-Fit for Gravitational-Wave Population Inference
Tejaswi Venumadhav
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: Gravitational-wave astronomy is entering a regime in which detections are sufficiently numerous to support population-level statistical inference. The standard tool is hierarchical Bayesian inference, which is powerful but does not...
