Modern astronomical research is beset with a vast range of
statistical challenges, ranging from reducing data from
megadatasets to characterizing an amazing variety of variable
celestial objects or testing astrophysical theory. Linking
astronomy to the world of modern statistics, this volume is a
unique resource, introducing astronomers to advanced statistics
through ready-to-use code in the public domain R statistical
software environment. The book presents fundamental results of
probability theory and statistical inference, before exploring
several fields of applied statistics, such as data smoothing,
regression, multivariate analysis and classification, treatment of
nondetections, time series analysis, and spatial point processes.
It applies the methods discussed to contemporary astronomical
research datasets using the R statistical software, making it
invaluable for graduate students and researchers facing complex
data analysis tasks. A link to the author's website for this book
can be found at www.cambridge.org/msma. Material available on their
website includes datasets, R code and errata. Visit the author's
homepage at http: //astrostatistics.psu.edu for more materials.
