Current gravitational-wave observations made by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo use theoretical models that predict the signals generated by the coalescence of compact binaries. Detections to date have been in regions of the parameter space where systematic modeling biases have been shown to be small. However, we must now prepare for a future with observations covering a wider range of binary configurations, and ever increasing detector sensitivities placing higher accuracy demands on… Expand

Regression methods in waveform modeling: a comparative study
TLDR
It is found that sophisticated regression methods are not necessarily needed in standard gravitational-wave modeling applications, although problems with higher complexity than what is tested here might be more suitable for machine-learning techniques and more sophisticated methods may have side benefits.
