47 Summary FORMALISM 1) FISHER FORECAST To assess the potential. 2) ESTIMATED POPULATIONS How many HVSs are expected. 3) LIKELIHOOD PIPELINE Develop a technique! Scientific Outlook 1) BARYONIC POTENTIAL Can HVSs constrain the disk/bulge? 2) CHECK CONTAMINATION Weighted likelihood? 3) BREAK DEGENERACY More contours!

51 Statistical Inference - Likelihood Parametric PDF Likelihood Likelihood Principle: Maximum Likelihood Estimation: All knowledge about the real parameters is in the likelihood. The point of maximum of the likelihood is a good estimator of the real parameters.

Stellar Populations in the Galaxy Stars are fish in the sea of the galaxy, and like fish they often travel in schools. Star clusters are relatively small groupings, the true schools are stellar populations.
