Likelihood Filter for Cluster Detection

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The likelihood filter for cluster detection introduced by Postman et al. is generalized by using standard procedures and models originally developed in the theory of point processes. The generalized method has the advantage of being less biased at the expense of some higher computational effort.
