X-ray vs Radio Correlation Analysis

This repository contains a Python-based statistical analysis of the correlation between X-ray and radio properties of astrophysical sources (e.g., galaxy clusters, AGN).

The notebook demonstrates practical applications of statistical methods in astrophysics, including data preprocessing, correlation testing, regression, and uncertainty analysis.


Key Features

  • Data preprocessing of astrophysical datasets
  • Correlation tests: Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall coefficients
  • Linear regression modeling with uncertainty estimation
  • Statistical visualization: scatter plots, regression lines, residuals

Why It Matters

Correlations between X-ray and radio emission provide insights into the physical processes linking
thermal (X-ray) and non-thermal (radio) components in astrophysical systems.

This project showcases:

  • Domain expertise in astrophysics
  • Statistical analysis skills transferable to data science
  • Reproducible workflows with Jupyter notebooks and Python

Tools & Libraries

  • numpy, scipy, pandas — scientific computing
  • matplotlib, seaborn — visualization
  • linmix — regression and statistical tests

Example Output

Example scatter plot of X-ray vs Radio correlation with regression fit:
