论文摘要
尼尔森（一家市场研究公司），杨百翰大学和新西兰国立大学的新西兰大学尼尔森（一家市场研究公司）之间的系外行星研究合作进行了更新，该大学已扩大到包括美国的社区学院。概述了过去一年的关键成就，包括HD 209458的密度估计以及径向速度和过境拟合中的开普勒1。概述了WinFitter优化器与其他技术之间的比较，这表明Winfitter估计的统计误差本质上是在线（bar a缩放比例）与通过马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛技术估计的统计误差。
An update is given on the exoplanet research collaboration between Nielsen (a marketing research company), Brigham Young University, and NZ universities with the National University of Singapore, which has been expanded to include a community college in the US. Key achievements from the past year are outlined, including density estimates for HD 209458 and Kepler 1 from radial velocity and transit fits. A comparison between the WinFitter optimizer and other techniques is outlined, showing that WinFitter estimated statistical errors are essentially in line (bar a scaling proportion) with those estimated via Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques.
