Course notes and resources for Stanford University graduate lecture course PHYS366. BlahBlahBlah BLAH BLAH
The course is intended to provide an introduction to modern statistical methodology and its applications to problems in astrophysics and cosmology. The course is aimed at graduate students intending to do research in astrophysics and cosmology, and we strongly encourage most first and second year students working in KIPAC to take the course. Our goal is to provide a background that will be directly relevant to the kind of problems that typical KIPAC students will encounter in their research.
