Astrostatistical Challenges for the New Astronomy presents a
collection of monographs authored by several of the disciplines
leading astrostatisticians, i.e. by researchers from the fields of
statistics and astronomy-astrophysics, who work in the statistical
analysis of astronomical and cosmological data. Eight of the ten
monographs are enhancements of presentations given by the authors
as invited or special topics in astrostatistics papers at the ISI
World Statistics Congress (2011, Dublin, Ireland). The opening
chapter, by the editor, was adapted from an invited seminar given
at Los Alamos National Laboratory (2011) on the history and current
state of the discipline; the second chapter by Thomas Loredo was
adapted from his invited presentation at the Statistical Challenges
in Modern Astronomy V conference (2011, Pennsylvania State
University), presenting insights regarding frequentist and Bayesian
methods of estimation in astrostatistical analysis. The remaining
monographs are research papers discussing various topics in
astrostatistics. The monographs provide the reader with an
excellent overview of the current state astrostatistical research,
and offer guidelines as to subjects of future research. Lead
authors for each chapter respectively include Joseph M. Hilbe (Jet
Propulsion Laboratory and Arizona State Univ); Thomas J. Loredo
(Dept of Astronomy, Cornell Univ); Stefano Andreon
(INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera, Italy); Martin Kunz (
Institute for Theoretical Physics, Univ of Geneva, Switz); Benjamin
Wandel ( Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris, Univ Pierre et Marie
Curie, France); Roberto Trotta (Astrophysics Group, Dept of
Physics, Imperial College London, UK); Phillip Gregory (Dept of
Astronomy, Univ of British Columbia, Canada); Marc Henrion (Dept of
Mathematics, Imperial College, London, UK); Asis Kumar
Chattopadhyay (Dept of Statistics, Univ of Calcutta, India); Marisa
