✓ Kepler selection function: how well the red giants observed by Kepler are representative of the underlying population of giants in the field. (benchmarking against an unbiased sample).
✓ Target selection effects: once the selection function is known, how this bias the observations. (population synthesis).

Vertical structure of the disk:
vertical age gradientage-metallicity
suggest quiescent evolution for Milky Way disc over the last 10 Gyr, thus highlighting the importance of
secular processes in disc evolution
