Next: The TSA environment Up: MIDAS utilities for Previous: MIDAS utilities for . Our package is well suited to the analysis of small to modest sized data sets, with no regard to the sampling which may be even or uneven. Thus our package suits astronomers who often have to deal with unevenly sampled observations well. ... Very large data sets usually concern important problems and therefore deserve extra attention in the analysis. ...

... We report on the preliminary results of experiments using a Bayesian cluster method to cluster objects present in photographic images of the POSS-II. ... We believe that the application of such algorithms to large-scale astronomical sky surveys can aid in cataloging the detected objects, and may even have the potential to discover new categories of objects. ... We have thus started to explore new clustering analysis and unsupervised classification techniques for this task. ...
