Astrostatistics is an interdisciplinary field that combines statistical methods with astrophysics and astronomy. The goal of astrostatisticians is to develop and apply statistical techniques to analyze astronomical data. This is essential because astronomical datasets are often vast and complex, involving large-scale surveys, time-series data from telescopes, and simulations of cosmic phenomena. Astrostatisticians work on various topics, including: 1. **Data analysis**: Extracting meaningful information from noisy and high-dimensional data.
Shirley Ho is a prominent figure in the field of computational astrophysics and data science. She is known for her contributions to understanding the large-scale structure of the universe and for her work in the analysis of astronomical data, particularly related to galaxy formation and cosmic microwave background radiation.
