Statistics, Data Mining, and Machine Learning in Astronomy

A Practical Python Guide for the Analysis of Survey Data

As telescopes, detectors, and computers grow ever more powerful, the volume of data at the disposal of astronomers and astrophysicists will enter the petabyte domain, providing accurate measurements for billions of celestial objects. This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the cutting-edge statistical methods needed to efficiently analyze complex data sets from astronomical surveys such as the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System, the Dark Energy Survey, and the upcoming Large Synoptic Survey Telescope. It serves as a practical handbook for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in physics and astronomy, and as an indispensable reference for researchers. Statistics, Data Mining, and Machine Learning in Astronomy presents a wealth of practical analysis problems, evaluates techniques for solving them, and explains how to use various approaches for different types and sizes of data sets. For all applications described in the book, Python code and example data sets are provided. The supporting data sets have been carefully selected from contemporary astronomical surveys (for example, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey) and are easy to download and use. The accompanying Python code is publicly available, well documented, and follows uniform coding standards. Together, the data sets and code enable readers to reproduce all the figures and examples, evaluate the methods, and adapt them to their own fields of interest. Describes the most useful statistical and data-mining methods for extracting knowledge from huge and complex astronomical data sets Features real-world data sets from contemporary astronomical surveys Uses a freely available Python codebase throughout Ideal for students and working astronomers

The Handbook for Reluctant Database Administrators

Feeling reluctant? The Handbook for Reluctant Database Administrators provides you with a solid grasp of what you'll need to design, build, secure, and maintain a database. Author Josef Finsel writes from an understanding point of view; he also crossed over from programming to database administration. Furthermore, database administration veteran Francis Stanisci comments throughout the book, sharing insight from his own years of experience.

—John Doe, Se7en RELUCTANT DATABASE ADMINISTRATORS (DBAs) often
feel like they're on the receiving end of that “sledgehammer.” Performance issues
can come back to haunt us, almost with a vengeance, and all too often it's not for
lack of proper planning. After all, we frequently build databases based on
unrealistic or even nonexistent specifications. Still, we try to simulate what we
believe the load characteristics will be like, such as the quantity of data to expect,
the type ...
