[AAS 237]
Ask-an-Astro/Statistician Table
Monday-Friday, Jan 11-15, 2021
The Chandra X-ray Center is hosting a rolling Ask-an-Astro/Statistician discussion table during the summer meeting of the American Astronomical Society (Jan 11-15 2021). We will have several statisticians and astrostatisticians present at designated times (when the Interactive Exhibit Halls are open) at the Chandra Booth Chat window to discuss astrostatistics related issues with interested astronomers attending AAS 237. Questions ranging from mathematical foundations of Bayesian analysis to Machine Learning to the intricacies of X-ray data analysis are welcome.
