????? ?This volume provides an overview of the field of Astrostatistics understood as the sub-discipline dedicated to the statistical analysis of astronomical data. It presents examples of the application of the various methodologies now available to current open issues in astronomical research. The technical aspects related to the scientific analysis of the upcoming petabyte-scale databases are emphasized given the importance that scalable Knowledge Discovery techniques will have for the full exploitation of these databases.
Based on the 2011 Astrostatistics and Data Mining in Large Astronomical Databases conference and school, this volume gathers examples of the work by leading authors in the areas of Astrophysics and Statistics, including a significant contribution from the various teams that prepared for the processing and analysis of the Gaia data.

Pressezitat
From the book reviews:"This book is the result of a 2011 Workshop on Astrostatistics and Data Mining, held on the island of in La Palma. ... The book provides a convenient description of many new and planned datasets, with relatively succinct statistical analyses, many of which adopt a Bayesian framework. I believe the book will be most appreciated by astronomers and applied statisticians and note that the four editors include a statistician and several astronomers." (Thomas Burr, Technometrics, Vol. 55 (4), November, 2013)
