Why you are not allowed to say that your 95% confidence interval contains the true parameter with a probability of 95% A shibboleth is a custom, such as a choice of phrasing, that distinguishes one group of people from another. The term goes back to the Hebrew Bible, in which the inhabitants of Gilead identify members...

New post on the 100% Christmas Interval -- after almost 8 years, it's time that we finally talk about CIs.

Introducing: Cosmology 101 with Katie Mack YouTube video by Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

Something to watch this weekend -Cosmology 101 with @astrokatie.com & Perimeter Institute
#Cosmology- the study of the universe's evolution; the narrative of the creation of the smallest particles & atoms & unseen forces. It’s black holes & dark matter

Characterization of non-Gaussian stochastic signals with heavier-tailed likelihoods Future Gravitational Wave observatories will give us the opportunity to search for stochastic signals of astrophysical, or even cosmological origins. However, parameter estimation and search will be c...

Ok, lets put out my first post here about a new paper that we uploaded on the arXiv! 🧪 #astronomy #science #gws

The paper is about detecting departures from Gaussianities using a heavier-tailed likelihood. 🔕

You can learn about this discovery directly from Jocelyn Bell Burnell during one of our Picture an Astronomer events!

More information at pictureanastronomer.github.io, including registration (in person and remote).

For astrophysicists, come to our symposium, too -- all genders welcome!

I’m a fan of R. Shankar’s QM book :D It’s quite readable!
