The AstroStat Slog

Irrelevant to astrostatistics but interesting for baseball lovers.

With the 5th year WMAP data release, there were many WMAP related papers and among them, most statistical papers are listed. WMAP specific/related:

• [astro-ph:0803.0586] J. Dunkley et. al.
    Five-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Likelihoods and Parameters from the WMAP data (likelihoods)

• [astro-ph:0803.0715] B. Gold et. al.
    Five-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Galactic Foreground Emission (MCMC)

• [astro-ph:0803.0889] Ichikawa, Sekiguchi, & Takahashi
    Probing the Effective Number of Neutrino Species with Cosmic Microwave Background

And others:

• [astro-ph:0802.4464] M. Sahlц©n et.al.
    The XMM Cluster Survey: Forecasting cosmological and cluster scaling-relation parameter constraints

• [astro-ph:0803.0918] J.M. Colberg et.al.
    The Aspen–Amsterdam Void Finder Comparison Project (TFE, tessellation field estimator)

• [astro-ph:0803.0885] J.Ballot et.al.
    On deriving p-mode parameters for inclined solar-like stars (MLE, maximum likelihood estimator)

By the way, I noticed [astro-ph:0802.4464] used Monte Carlo Markov Chain, whereas [astro-ph:0803.0715] used Markov chain Monte Carlo. Do they mean different? Or the former is a typo?
