Abstract

An unavoidable part of studying astrophysics based on catalogs of detected events is quantifying the probability of detecting different types of events. I will briefly discuss the types of design considerations that go into constructing such estimates and how they will scale with larger catalog sizes. I will also introduce the wide variety of uses for such data products, including uncovering unexpected features within the data caused by the fact that humans build and operate the detectors.
