GW Parameter Estimation Workshop 2020

Repository of materials for the August GW Parameter Estimation workshop on behalf of the Astrophysical Relativity group at ICTS-TIFR in Bangalore, India, as well as the larger Indian GW community.

Overview

• Pre-workshop material

  • Installation, recommended: This page goes through the installation steps for bilby and bilby_pipe
  • Getting started: GW-ODW, optional: This page goes through the parameter estimation tutorial from the 2020 GWOSC Open Data Workshop, covering many of the introductory concepts we will hit in this workshop.

• Session 1 (August 27th 14:00-16:30 IST)

  • Introduction to Bayesian inference and Gravitational-Wave parameter estimation (Greg) -- Lecture Video
  • Getting started with bilby: simple BBH PE (Break-out rooms with tutors)

• Session 2 (August 28th 14:00-16:30 IST)

  • Introduction to Bayesian inference at scale: bilby_pipe and clusters (Greg) -- Lecture Video
  • Getting started with bilby_pipe (Interactive session with Greg then break-out rooms)
