Astrostatistics and Astroinformatics Portal (ASAIP)
From the webpage:
The ASAIP provides searchable abstracts to Recent Papers in the field, several discussion Forums, various resources for researchers, brief Articles by experts, lists of Meetings, and access to various Web resources such as on-line courses, books, jobs and blogs. The site will be used for public outreach by five organizations: International Astrostatistics Association (IAA, to be affiliated with the International Statistical Institute), American Astronomical Society Working Group in Astroinformatics and Astrostatistics (AAS/WGAA), International Astronomical Union Working Group in Astrostatistics and Astroinformatics (IAU/WGAA), Information and Statistical Sciences Consortium of the planned Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST/ISSC), and the American Statistical Association Interest Group in Astrostatistics (ASA/IGA).
Join the ASAIP! Members of ASAIP — researchers and students in astronomy, statistics, computer science and related fields — can contribute to the discussion Forums, submit Recent Papers, Research Group links, and announcements of Meetings. Members login using the box at the upper right; typical login names have the form `jsmith’. To become a member, please email the ASAIP editors.
Optical and radio astronomy had “big data” before “big data” was sexy! If you are looking for data sets to stretch your software, you are in the right place.
Enjoy!
