| Summary |
"Bayesian methods are increasingly being employed in many different areas of physical sciences research. In astrophysics, models are used to make predictions to compare to observations that are incomplete and uncertain, so the comparison must be pursued by following a probabilistic approach. With contributions from leading experts, this volume covers the foundations of Bayesian inference, a description of the applicable computational methods, and recent results from their application to areas such as exoplanet detection and characterisation, image reconstruction, and cosmology. With content that appeals both to young researchers seeking to learn about Bayesian methods and to astronomers wishing to incorporate these approaches into their research, it provides the next generation of researchers with tools of modern data analysis that are becoming standard in astrophysical research"-- Provided by publisher |
