Model Selection Astro193, March 9 Steps in Hypothesis Testing 1/ Set up 2 possible exclusive hypotheses - two models : M0 ­ null hypothesis ­ formulated to be rejected M1 ­ an alternative hypothesis, research hypothesis 2/ Specify a priori the significance level 3/ Choose a test which: - has the required power - approximates the conditions - finds what is needed to obtain the sampling The model with the largest value provides the best description of the data. ...

... A Bayesian value for may be found simply by treating it as another parameter in our hypothesis space. ... where in the last factor we can drop the conditioning on since it is alone that induces the data . ... Evaluating the appropriate Gaussian integral gives . ... Nevertheless, for realistically large data sets, the distribution is so strongly peaked that it overwhelms any reasonable prior on , and so we assign the Bayesian value of the regularisation constant to be that which maximises . ...

... The procedure of radiometer signal integration can be considered as a sort of reducing dimension of the initial sampling space, where the samples are the result of analog-to-digital conversion. ... The probability distribution of the signal and spikes is completely known. ... The quality of the considered algorithm could be also illustrated by Figure 2 . ... One could see the considered adaptive algorithm is preferable even by low degree of compression, because all spikes have been depressed. ...

Next: Redshift Distribution Up: Sample Identification Previous: Previously Identified Sources . ... In Figure 3, we plot the redshift distribution of DXRBS FSRQs opposite that of the 1 Jy and S4 samples. In Figure 4, we plot the redshift distribution of DXRBS BL Lacs opposite the Slew and 1 Jy samples. ... The apparent deficit of objects at the very highest luminosities is a result of the smaller area of sky covered by DXRBS compared to, e.g., the Slew and 1 Jy samples. ...

. Distribution of Supernovae according to their parent galaxies' recession velocity. This graph shows the distribution of SNe according to the recession velocity of their parent galaxies. This graph is kept up to date till SN 2000ek . Along X-axis there are all velocity bands so that you have to read in this way: for example, the band on the graph marked as 2000 takes in all parent galaxies' recession velocities faster than 1000 until 2000 Km/sec.
