Quasar Factor Analysis—An Unsupervised and Probabilistic Quasar Continuum Prediction Algorithm with Latent Factor Analysis

Since their first discovery, quasars have been essential probes of the distant Universe. However, due to our limited knowledge of its nature, predicting the intrinsic quasar continua has bottlenecked their usage. Existing methods of quasar continuum recovery often rely on a limited number of high-qu...
