Accounting for Source Uncertainties in Analyses of Astronomical Survey Data

Thomas J. Loredo · AIP conference proceedings · 2004

Summary

An issue arising in analyzing data from astronomical surveys: accounting for measurement uncertainties in the properties of individual sources detected in a survey when making inferences about the entire population of sources is discussed.
