Abstract
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
