A New Waveform Consistency Test for Gravitational Wave Inspiral Searches
Searches for binary inspiral signals in data collected by interferometric gravitational wave detectors utilize matched filtering techniques. Although matched filtering is optimal in the case of stationary Gaussian noise, data from real detectors often contains “glitches” and episodes of excess noise which cause filter outputs to ring strongly. We review the standard χ statistic which is used to...

متن کاملGravitational-wave Astronomy with Inspiral Signals of Spinning Compact-object Binaries
Inspiral signals from binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by a number of ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers (LIGO, Virgo, GEO-600 and TAMA-300). Detection of such inspirals and ensuing mergers is expected to provide us with important physical information about the properties of the sources, bearing on outstanding issues...
متن کاملRobust Principal Component Analysis Using Statistical Estimators
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) finds a linear mapping and maximizes the variance of the data which makes PCA sensitive to outliers and may cause wrong eigendirection. In this paper, we propose techniques to solve this problem; we use the data-centering method and reestimate the covariance matrix using robust statistic techniques such as median, robust scaling which is a booster to datacente...
متن کاملBinary black hole detection rates in inspiral gravitational wave searches
Abstract The signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) for quasi-circular binary black hole inspirals computed from restricted post-Newtonian waveforms are compared with those attained by more complete postNewtonian signals, which are superpositions of amplitude-corrected harmonics of the orbital phase. It is shown that if one were to use the best available amplitude-corrected waveforms for detection templ...
