Bayesian Methods in Cosmology (Paperback): Michael P. Hobson, Andrew H. Jaffe, Andrew R. Liddle, Pia Mukherjee, David Parkinson Bayesian Methods in Cosmology (Paperback)
Michael P. Hobson, Andrew H. Jaffe, Andrew R. Liddle, Pia Mukherjee, David Parkinson
R1,320 Discovery Miles 13 200 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In recent years cosmologists have advanced from largely qualitative models of the Universe to precision modelling using Bayesian methods, in order to determine the properties of the Universe to high accuracy. This timely book is the only comprehensive introduction to the use of Bayesian methods in cosmological studies, and is an essential reference for graduate students and researchers in cosmology, astrophysics and applied statistics. The first part of the book focuses on methodology, setting the basic foundations and giving a detailed description of techniques. It covers topics including the estimation of parameters, Bayesian model comparison, and separation of signals. The second part explores a diverse range of applications, from the detection of astronomical sources (including through gravitational waves), to cosmic microwave background analysis and the quantification and classification of galaxy properties. Contributions from 24 highly regarded cosmologists and statisticians make this an authoritative guide to the subject.

The Primordial Density Perturbation - Cosmology, Inflation and the Origin of Structure (Hardcover, New): David H. Lyth, Andrew... The Primordial Density Perturbation - Cosmology, Inflation and the Origin of Structure (Hardcover, New)
David H. Lyth, Andrew R. Liddle
R2,157 Discovery Miles 21 570 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The origin and evolution of the primordial perturbation is the key to understanding structure formation in the earliest stages of the Universe. It carries clues to the types of physical phenomena active in that extreme high-density environment. Through its evolution, generating first the observed cosmic microwave background anisotropies and later the distribution of galaxies and dark matter in the Universe, it probes the properties and dynamics of the present Universe. This graduate-level textbook gives a thorough account of theoretical cosmology and perturbations in the early Universe, describing their observational consequences and showing how to relate such observations to primordial physical processes, particularly cosmological inflation. With ambitious observational programmes complementing ever-increasing sophistication in theoretical modelling, cosmological studies will remain at the cutting edge of astrophysical studies for the foreseeable future.

Cosmological Inflation and Large-Scale Structure (Paperback): Andrew R. Liddle, David H. Lyth Cosmological Inflation and Large-Scale Structure (Paperback)
Andrew R. Liddle, David H. Lyth
R1,796 Discovery Miles 17 960 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Enormous progress has been made in inflationary cosmology in the past few years and this book is the first to provide a modern and unified overview of the subject. Coverage examines every aspect of inflationary cosmology and carefully compares predictions with the latest observations, including those of the cosmic microwave background, the clustering and velocities of galaxies and the epoch of structure formation. Problems are included throughout to help the student develop a thorough understanding. An ideal introduction to what promises to be one of the most fruitful topics of research in science in the next decade, this volume will be of great interest to graduate students and researchers in astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, theoretical physics and applied mathematics.
