Abstract:
Singular-value decomposition is a powerful technique that has been used in
the analysis of matrices in many fields. In this paper, we summarize how it has
been applied to the analysis of gravitational-wave data. These include
producing basis waveforms for matched filtering, decreasing the computational
cost of searching for many waveforms, improving parameter estimation, and
providing a method of waveform interpolation.
