As a part of exploring spatial distribution of particles/objects, not to approximate via Poisson process or Gaussian process (parametric), nor to impose hypotheses such as homogenous, isotropic, or uniform, various nonparametric methods somewhat dragged my attention for data exploration and preliminary analysis. ... I decide to discuss Kalman Filter a while ago for the slog after finding out that this popular methodology is rather underrepresented in astronomy. ...

This image from the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESOтАЩs La Silla Observatory in Chile, shows the bright star cluster NGC 6520 and its neighbour, the strangely shaped dark cloud Barnard 86. This cosmic pair is set against millions of glowing stars from the brightest part of the Milky Way тАФ a region so dense with stars that barely any dark sky is seen across the picture. ...

... Apache HTTP Server Version 2.2 . ... This document describes the use of filters in Apache. ... The Filter Chain is available in Apache 2.0 and higher, and enables applications to process incoming and outgoing data in a highly flexible and configurable manner, regardless of where the data comes from. ... A wider range of applications are implemented by third-party filter modules available from modules.apache.org and elsewhere. ... There are two ways to use filtering: Simple and Dynamic. ...
