The number of "resolved" galaxies should be proportional to z^2 with slight (at such z range) deviation due to cosmological effect. ... We need to develop and implement new storage and catalog of Supernovae on top of it. ... Expected number of SN discovered by SNAP exceeds the capability of current SN nomenclature scheme (26**2). ...

... Let be a random deviate which follows a Poissonian probability distribution about the expectation value . Although the Poisson distribution itself is only defined for integer , one can find the following continuous `envelope function' to the Poisson values: . ... where is the gamma function . ... The expectation value of is . ... Equation 5 is used both in the present program and in boxdetect to estimate the null-hypothesis probability distribution of the weighted sum of Poissonian images. ...

The Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Statistic . This statistic enables us to test whether observed frequencies are close to . those we would expect. ... Expected frequencies . ...

If we actually roll a die 60 times we wouldn't expect each of the faces . ... times each face actually comes up is the observed frequency for that face. ...

... The measured bolometric flux and corrected NPOI angular diameter yield an effective temperature of 8600+/-500 K. Least-squares comparisons of synthetic spectral energy distributions from 1220 Г: to 3.6 cm with the observations provide estimates for the effective temperature and the mass-loss rate of ~=8400+/-100 K and (8+/-3)Г-10-7 Msolar yr-1, respectively. ...

Results on nonequilibrium distributions of charged particles and radioisotope sources of current are as the following: . the new power-law distribution of charged particles in nonequilibrium media, for example, in the thin metalic films, under powerful energy source pumping were obtained ( together with V.I.Karas, V.M.Kontoriovich, V.E.Novikov); . ...

Next: Power of test Up: Basic principles of Previous: Test statistics . In principle, it is possible to compute a value of the statistic for a single frequency and to test its consistency with a random signal ( ). ... The factor N means that there is an increased probability of accepting a given value of the statistic as consistent with a random signal. ... In the command individual descriptions, we often refer to probability distributions of specific statistics. ...

... The GW from coalescing compact binaries composed of NS and BH are the best understood of all astrophysical GW sources. A conservative lower limit to the event rate of galactic binary neutron star coalescence of about 1 per 100000 year follows from double pulsar   statistics studies (Narayan et al. ... In Figure  47 we show the rates of coalescence of binary WD and NS in a model elliptical galaxy   consisting of stars, depending on time elapsed since the (assumed instantaneous) star formation. ...

... Chapter 14. ... Data consist of numbers, of course. ... In the following sections, you will repeatedly encounter the following paradigm: § apply some formula to the data to compute a statistic § compute where the value of that statistic falls in a probability distribution that is computed on the basis of some null hypothesis § if it falls in a very unlikely spot, way out on a tail of the distribution , conclude that the null hypothesis is false for your ... 609 610 Chapter 14. ...
