are there any books/yt tutorials that helped you learn how to do data processing w python? I really want to learn this summer

FOR SURE!!!! THIS python for astronomy course by freecodecamp is excellent and i have been looking for something like it for AGES!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9KefzbryEw&ab_channel=freeCodeCamp.org the same people behind the bootcamp also have a bunch of machine learning projects relevant to space that i am hoping to go through, you can find them here: https://www.youtube.com/@Spartificial/playlists if any of you studyblr folks know any other resources for data processing for space, or just data processing in general, please add on <33

Planet Hunting to Sky Surveys, Astronomy and Statistics Realign (Op-Ed)

G. Jogesh Babu is director of the Center for Astrostatistics at Penn State, and Eric Feigelson is the center's associate director and professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State. After a century hiatus, astronomy and statistics recently reconnected, giving rise to the new field of astrostatistics. NASA's Kepler mission  has detected several thousand planets orbiting other stars, but it was through statistics that astronomers inferred that most stars have planetary systems and hundreds of millions of Earth-like planets probably exist in the galaxy. Such insights followed a long gap in the relationship between astrostatistics — a term coined by us in our book of the same title published in 1996 — and the broader field of astronomy. http://dlvr.it/7bYh1J

Astroinformatics 2014 Conference

Astroinformatics is a thriving new discipline that has emerged at the intersection of astronomy/astrophysics, applied mathematics and high performance computing, arising from the need to address the challenges and opportunities of exponential growth of data volumes, rates and complexity from the next-generation telescopes.

Interesting paper discussing the potential for astrostatistics in the cloud (or Virtual Observatory, to use that anachronistic term).
