... I was in the process of writing on ?model uncertainty? to understand why the same term is used differently in astronomy and in statistics and planned to include some papers to show how statisticians handle uncertainty. ... Draper used the O-ring data set, one of the most frequently cited data sets in statistics textbooks. ... One of my favorite statisticians is John Tukey , of Fast Fourier Transform, higher criticisms, and exploratory data analysis which are all well known to astronomers. ...

XMM-Newton Science Analysis System Page: 1 Data conventions August 15, 2005 Abstract Several conventions are described for passing around data in the SAS, such as parameter names, le structure, attribute names, column names etc. ... The OGIP conventions for data products all have the block name set, so it is a matter of extending this concept also to utility tasks that normally wouldn't bother with the extension name. ... 2.1 Event lists Events are stored in a table in a data set. ...

... Unlike the previous digital-only Messages, Arecibo-1974 and Evpatoria-1999, the TAM has complex, three-section structure with different forms of information. Section 1 represents coherent sounding radio signal with slow Doppler wavelength tuning to imitate transmission from Sun's center. ... Section 2 is an analog information and represents musical melodies, performed on the Theremin. ... There were seven musical compositions in the 1st Theremin Concert for Aliens. ...

... Certain classical problems of one-dimensional dynamics, of dynamics on surfaces, of billiards in polygons, of surface foliations, can be solved using the recent knowledge about the moduli spaces. ... The conference is intended to put into contact experts in different aspects of the area (dynamics in moduli spaces, surface dynamics, surface foliations, horocyclic flow, symbolic dynamics, billiards in polygons), which, hopefully, would enrich everybody. ...

The efficiency of interaction of radiation with a particle and hence its optical properties depend on the particle chemical composition, size, shape, structure, etc. ... Particle size expressed in units of the wavelength of incident radiation, together with chemical composition, most strongly affects the optical properties of a scatterer. ... There are many methods to solve the light-scattering problem for a homogeneous spheroid (our survey of the light-scattering methods see here ). ...

... A new method for the discrimination of point-like objects in astronomical images is presented. The method makes use of the surface curvature of the image, without any a priori knowledge of the shape of the point-like objects. ... We propose a new approach to the problem based on the properties of surface curvature which is related to peaks, pits and flats in images and therefore contain the key information to discriminate point-like objects. ... The image of means is called the analysis image. ...

... The plug-plates of SDSS project are responsible for locating the optical-fiber plugs spatially and for defining the plug tilt with respect to the surface of best focus. ... Previous attempts to match the SDSS plug-plates to the surface of best focus were conducted using only the bending fixture. The analyses performed indicated that by adding a central constraint to the plug-plate deformation process, the plates could be made to match the surface of best focus within an acceptable range of error. ...

METAR Wishlist Following is a list of items that I'd like to add to METAR or that others have requested. ... It'd be nice to have a lot of METARs which encompass various weather condition which we can test against. ... Sites around the world use similar (but slightly different) formats for their METARs. There is always a METAR format the parser will fail on. Calculate Heat Index and/or Wind Chill Both would be fairly easy to do, provided you get the formulas correct. ...

Next: Pressure Up: Additional information Previous: Additional information . ... Although the ESO Archive standard is to record temperatures in kelvins, this is often inconvenient. ... Therefore, if the temperatures are not in kelvins, the appropriate units should be provided in the table file (if temperatures are in a column), or as a comment. ... If filter and detector temperatures are otherwise regulated or recorded, it may still be useful to record DOMETEMP in the data file as a Real*4 column. ...
