Project 6: Uncertainty Quantification for Coincidence Detection

Lead PIs: Rina Foygel Barber (UC), Daniel Holz (UC)
Collaborators: Samuel Dyson (UC), Ruiting Liang (UC)
Project Summary: This project is on coincidence detection for time-domain multiwavelength and multimessenger data. Specifically, the project includes testing assumptions in current coincidence-detection techniques and describing uncertainty quantification for this method. Additionally, options for more robust detection techniques will be explored.
