%0 Journal Article %T Issues in gravitational wave data analysis %A Lee Samuel Finn %J Physics %D 1997 %I arXiv %X Data analysis is the application of probability and statistics to draw inference from observation. Is a signal present or absent? Is the source an inspiraling binary system or a supernova? At what point in the sky is the radiation incident from? In these notes I want to address how two different statistical methodologies --- Bayesian and Frequentist --- approach the problem of statistical inference %U http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9709077v1
