Gravitational-wave observations provide a unique opportunity to test general relativity (GR) in the strong-field and highly dynamical regime of the theory. Parametrized tests of GR are one well-known approach for quantifying violations of…
Recovering a source signal from indirect measurements often requires estimating latent parameters, such as wireless channel states or MRI coil sensitivities, that cannot be directly observed. Here, we introduce Physics-Embedded Inverse…
Bayesian inference is used to extract unknown parameters from gravitational wave signals. Detector noise is typically modelled as stationary, although data from the LIGO and Virgo detectors is not stationary. We demonstrate that the…
