  3. Data analysis for VO • Federate the existing and forthcoming large digital sky surveys and archives, and provide the tools for their scientific exploitation • A dynamical, interactive, web-based research environment for the new astronomy with massive data sets http://astrostatistics.psu.edu/vostat/ • Technology-enabled, but science-driven

  4. The VOStat ProjectWeb-based statistics services for the VO(Babu, Feigelson,Djorgovski, Graham, Mahabal, Nichol, Wasserman, et al.) Data Data Client Data Powerful Statistical Computers VOStat Web service Client Client Tools for data exploration and analysis in the VO and other science environments

  5. Streaming algorithms • Object detection in multi-epoch/band data(Data from different surveys of the same field) • Sequential smoothing of massive multivariate data. • Convex hull pealing methods • Exploratory analysis on subsets of data through VOStat
