Publisher's NoteThese proceedings reflect current interest in interdisciplinary work, in this case the combination of astronomical and statistical methods and theories that has created the discrete field of astrostatistics. These 37 papers and analyses of papers, along with the full collection of posters, were presented at the conference of June 2006, and concentrate largely on methodological issues peculiar to current research, including cosmology (including statistical challenges of weak gravitational lensing), small-N problems (including Bayesian methods in particle physics), astronomical surveys (including photometric calibration), planetary systems (including Bayesian model selection), periodic variability (including nonparametric estimation of dark matter distributions), developments in statistics and cross-disciplinary perspectives from particle physics, statistics and astronomy. The collection includes tutorials on the relationship among interactive data visualization and pattern discovery and image, and a brief introduction to a public-domain statistical software package for astronomers.
