Multivariate classification with random forests for gravitational wave searches of black hole binary coalescence

Multivariate classification with random forests for gravitational wave searches of black hole binary coalescence

Searches for gravitational waves produced by coalescing black hole binaries with total masses $\ensuremath{\gtrsim}25\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{M}}_{\ensuremath{\bigodot}}$ use matched filtering with templates of short duration. Non-Gaussian noise bursts in gravitational wave detector data can mimic short signals and limit the sensitivity of these searches. Previous searches have relied on empirically designed …
