Statistics

Scientific paper

The rotation rates of 749 asteroids are analysed using Bayesian statistics. The larger asteroids are best fitted with a single Maxwellian distribution while the smaller asteroids are fitted by a mixture of Maxwellian distributions. The optimal separation point, determined by the data fit, occurs at around 33 km. The small asteroids are composed of a mixture of four Maxwellians, with populations of slow rotators, fast rotators and a one identical to the larger asteroids, providing the best fit.
