SUMMARY: 1st PlanetS workshop on Bayesian Statistics
DESCRIPTION:Thank you!\nThe organisers would like to thank the speakers and all participants of the workshop for a very fruitful meeting. See you again soon for the second workshop in the series. \n \nThe video recording of the talks can be found here. You can skip between talks using the bookmarks on the left hand menu. \n===== \nData analysis is a central part of the scientific method. The discovery and characterisation of exoplanets requires sophisticated statistical methods\, to extract weak planetary signals from dominant stellar effects and noisy datasets. Computational capabilities have increased in the past decades giving access for researchers in many fields to Bayesian statistical tools. The exoplanetary community is now using these tools for their analysis routinely: planets detections\, planetary atmospheres\, high contrast imaging\, planet populations etc. \nThis workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the PlanetS community with experts in Bayesian statistics as well as researchers already employing the Bayesian techniques. \nNo previous knowledge is assumed. An introductory lecture should bring everyone on the same page. \nCorrelation (@xkcd) \nSubjects\n\nBayesian optimisation.\nSampling techniques and MCMC.\nGaussian processes.\n\nAgenda\nThe abstract booklet is available here. \nNo hand-out will be provided. Please print the booklet yourself if you need it. \nMorning (9 – 12:30) \n08:30. Welcome coffee\n09:00 – 10:00. Adam Amara (ETHZ).
