2020
arXiv
pre-print
We demonstrate that highly accurate joint redshift - stellar mass PDFs can be obtained using the Random Forest (RF) machine learning (ML) algorithm, even with few photometric bands available. ...
As an example, we use the Dark Energy Survey (DES), combined with the COSMOS2015 catalogue for redshifts and stellar masses. ...
In this work we tackle the problem by using a machine learning (ML) based approach. We introduce a novel method based on the Random Forest (RF) algorithm to generate joint PDFs. ...

A machine learning approach to infer the accreted stellar mass fractions of galaxies
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
We propose a random forest (RF) machine learning approach to determine the accreted stellar mass fractions (f_acc) of central galaxies, based on various dark matter halo and galaxy features. ...
For galaxies with log_10M_∗/M_⊙>10.6, global features such as halo mass, size and stellar mass are more important in determining f_acc, whereas for galaxies with log_10M_∗/M_⊙⩽ 10.6, features related to ...
