Impact of Bayesian Priors on the Characterization of Binary Black Hole Coalescences
In a regime where data are only mildly informative, prior choices can play a significant role in Bayesian statistical inference, potentially affecting the inferred physics. We show this is indeed the case for some of the parameters inferred from current gravitational-wave measurements of binary blac...
