About

Joint IAU-IAA Astrostats & Astroinfo seminar series focuses on statistical and computational methodological challenges arising in the various fields of astronomy.  It discusses existing and new advanced approaches in statistical analysis and data mining of astronomical data.

In the 21st century, increasing resources are devoted to wide-field astronomical surveys, multi-dimensional data, and high-throughput instruments that produce peta-scale datasets and giga-scale samples. In addition to the growing tasks of data storage and management, new statistical tools have been developed or specified for astronomical problems. Astronomical insights require characterizing structure in images, spectra or time series by using non-linear, often high-dimensional models.

This international online seminar series is an initiative of the International Astrostatistics Association and the IAU Astroinformatics and Astrostatistics Commission.
