ANNz2 - photometric redshift and probability distribution function estimation using machine learning
We present ANNz2, a new implementation of the public software for photometric redshift (photo-z) estimation of Collister and Lahav (2004), which now includes generation of full probability distribution functions (PDFs). ANNz2 utilizes multiple machine learning methods, such as artificial neural networks and boosted decision/regression trees. The objective of the algorithm is to optimize the per...
متن کاملMETAPHOR: Probability density estimation for machine learning based photometric redshifts
We present METAPHOR (Machine-learning Estimation Tool for Accurate PHOtometric Redshifts), a method able to provide a reliable PDF for photometric galaxy redshifts estimated through empirical techniques. METAPHOR is a modular workflow, mainly based on the MLPQNA neural network as internal engine to derive photometric galaxy redshifts, but giving the possibility to easily replace MLPQNA with any...
متن کاملPhotometric Redshift Estimation Using Spectral Connectivity Analysis
The development of fast and accurate methods of photometric redshift estimation is a vital step towards being able to fully utilize the data of next-generation surveys within precision cosmology. In this paper we apply a specific approach to spectral connectivity analysis (SCA; Lee & Wasserman 2009) called diffusion map. SCA is a class of nonlinear techniques for transforming observed data (e.g...
متن کاملPhotometric redshift estimation using Gaussian processes
We present a comparison between Gaussian processes (GPs) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) as methods for determining photometric redshifts for galaxies, given training set data. In particular, we compare their degradation in performance as the training set size is degraded in ways which might be caused by the observational limitations of spectroscopy. Using publicly-available regression co...
متن کاملMachine Learning Techniques for Astrophysical Modelling and Photometric Redshift Estimation of Quasars in Optical Sky Surveys
Machine learning techniques are utilised in several areas of astrophysical research today. This dissertation addresses the application of ML techniques to two classes of problems in astrophysics, namely, the analysis of individual astronomical phenomena over time and the automated, simultaneous analysis of thousands of objects in large optical sky surveys. Specifically investigated are (1) tech...
