Though a variety of methods have been developed to address these challenges, a sufficient and general methodology to uncover the population of low-mass exoplanets is not available. During this presentation, I plan to discuss the statistical challenge in the detection of low-mass exoplanets in the presence of stellar activity using extreme precision radial velocity spectra and introduce statistical methodology that has potential to address this challenge by focusing on absorption line modeling.
General comments about the field of astrostatistics will also be made, along with a possible brief discussion on topological data analysis and its relevance to astronomy.
