摘要
数值注入分析（NINJA）项目是数值相对论与引力波数据分析社区成员之间的合作努力。NINJA 的目的是利用数值生成的波形研究现有引力波搜索算法的灵敏度，并促进数值相对论与数据分析社区之间更紧密的合作。我们描述了首次 NINJA 分析的结果，该分析聚焦于双黑洞并合的引力波形。十个数值相对论小组贡献了数值数据，用于生成一组引力波信号。这些信号被注入到一个模拟数据集中，该数据集旨在模拟初始 LIGO 和 Virgo 引力波探测器的响应。九个小组使用搜索和参数估计流程分析了这些数据。匹配滤波算法、非建模爆发搜索以及贝叶斯参数估计和模型选择算法被应用于数据。我们报告了这些搜索方法在检测数值波形和测量其参数方面的效率。我们描述了不同搜索方法之间的初步比较，并为未来的 NINJA 分析提出了改进建议。
