Population Inference
treatment of false positives, dependent parameters, uncertainties & selection effects
open source tools applicable to all existing & future exoplanet missions occurrence rate period, radius, mass, eccentricity, multiplicity, mutual inclination, etc. Flexible & robust inference of the exoplanet population

No good model of the non-transits…
Temporary solution: Template likelihoods
1 can discover single transits using supervised classification false positives
are still a problem (but maybe less) 2 3 would like to combine method with realistic noise model Conclusions
