Statistical Analysis of an AGN sample with Simultaneous UV and X-ray
  Observations with Swift
  I report on the statistical analysis of a sample of about 100 AGN with
simultaneous UV and X-ray observations with Swift. I found clear correlations
between the X-ray spectral slope alpha-X, the UV slope alpha-UV, and the
optical-to-x-ray spectral slope alpha-ox with the Eddington ratio L/Ledd. I
also report on the bolometric corrections for L(0.2-2.0 keV) and L(5100A). A
major aspect of the statistical analysis is multi-variate analysis statistical
tools such as the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis. This
analysis shows that the main driver of the AGN properties in this sample is the
Eddington ratio L/Ledd. Although separating Seyfert 1s into NLS1s and BLS1s is
a good classification, with the 2000 km/s cutoff line it is still arbitrary. A
better classification scheme may be to separate AGN into low and highL/Ledd AGN
as suggested from the cluster analysis.
