Our teacher already knows there is a positive relationship between how much time was spent on an essay and the grade the essay gets, but we’re going to need some data to demonstrate this properly.

We present a new implementation of the commonly used Box-fitting Least Squares (BLS) algorithm, for the detection of transiting exoplanets in photometric data. Unlike BLS, our new ...

Penalized least squares estimates provide a way to balance fitting the data closely and avoiding excessive roughness or rapid variation. A penalized least squares estimate is a surface that minimizes ...

Scientists commonly form histograms of counted events from their data, and extract parameters by fitting to a known model. Anytime a scientist counts photons, molecules, cells or data for individuals ...

In a [previous post](/dotphysics/2008/09/basics-making-graphs-with-kinematics-stuff-part-ii/), I talked about how to plot kinematics data with a spread sheet and how ...
