Probing the sparse tails of redshift distributions
Contributors: bengranett
Introduction
Tailz is a code for estimating the redshift distributions of photometric samples of galaxies. It uses a Voronoi tessellation density estimator to interpolate the distribution and performs well even in the tails.
News
The article describing the algorithm is now on arXiv.
Examples
