Bispectrum — In mathematics, in the area of statistical analysis, the bispectrum is a statistic used to search for nonlinear interactions. The Fourier transform of the second order cumulant, i.e., the autocorrelation function, is the traditional power… … Wikipedia
Bicoherence — In mathematics, in the area of statistical analysis, bicoherence is a squared normalised version of the bispectrum. The bicoherence takes values bounded between 0 and 1, which make it a convenient measure for quantifying the extent of phase… … Wikipedia
The Dark Energy Survey — DES logo The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is a survey that aims to probe the dynamics of the expansion of the universe and the growth of large scale structure. The collaboration is composed of research institutes and universities from United… … Wikipedia
Closure phase — The closure phase is an observable quantity in imaging astronomical interferometry, which allowed the use of interferometry with very long baselines. It forms the basis of the self calibration approach to interferometric imaging. The observable… … Wikipedia
Speckle masking — (or bispectral analysis) is a speckle imaging method which involves estimation of the bispectrum or closure phases from each of the short exposures. The average bispectrum can then be calculated and then inverted to obtain an image. With a normal … Wikipedia
Speckle imaging — (also known as video astronomy ) describes a range of high resolution astronomical imaging techniques based either on the shift and add ( image stacking ) method or on speckle interferometry methods. These techniques can dramatically increase the … Wikipedia
Triple correlation — The triple correlation of an ordinary function on the real line is the integral of theproduct of that function with two independently shifted copies of itself: int { infty}^{infty} f^{*}(x) f(x+s 1) f(x+s 2) dxThe Fourier transform of triple… … Wikipedia
Fourier analysis — In mathematics, Fourier analysis is a subject area which grew out of the study of Fourier series. The subject began with trying to understand when it was possible to represent general functions by sums of simpler trigonometric functions. The… … Wikipedia
Radiometric dating — (often called radioactive dating) is a technique used to date materials such as rocks, usually based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, using known decay rates.[1]… … Wikipedia
List of Fourier-related transforms — This is a list of linear transformations of functions related to Fourier analysis. Such transformations map a function to a set of coefficients of basis functions, where the basis functions are sinusoidal and are therefore strongly localized in… … Wikipedia
