Matter trispectrum: theoretical modelling and comparison to N-body simulations

no code implementations4 Sep 2020 Davide Gualdi, Sergi Novell, Héctor Gil-Marín, Licia Verde

However, gravitational non-linear evolution moves precious cosmological information from the two-point statistics (such as the power spectrum) to higher-order correlations.

Blind Observers of the Sky

1 code implementation18 Jun 2020 Samuel Brieden, Héctor Gil-Marín, Licia Verde, José Luis Bernal

The concept of blind analysis, a key procedure to remove the human-based systematic error called confirmation bias, has long been an integral part of data analysis in many research areas.

Beware of commonly used approximations I: errors in forecasts

1 code implementation20 May 2020 Nicola Bellomo, José Luis Bernal, Giulio Scelfo, Alvise Raccanelli, Licia Verde

However, widely used approximations in galaxy surveys analyses can lead to parameter uncertainties that are grossly mis-estimated, even in a regime where the theory is well understood (e. g., linear scales).

Beware of commonly used approximations II: estimating systematic biases in the best-fit parameters

1 code implementation19 May 2020 José Luis Bernal, Nicola Bellomo, Alvise Raccanelli, Licia Verde

Cosmological parameter estimation from forthcoming experiments promise to reach much greater precision than current constraints.

The Quijote simulations are a set of 44, 100 full N-body simulations spanning more than 7, 000 cosmological models in the $\{\Omega_{\rm m}, \Omega_{\rm b}, h, n_s, \sigma_8, M_\nu, w \}$ hyperplane.

Bayesian emulator optimisation for cosmology: application to the Lyman-alpha forest

no code implementations11 Dec 2018 Keir K. Rogers, Hiranya V. Peiris, Andrew Pontzen, Simeon Bird, Licia Verde, Andreu Font-Ribera

Starting with a Latin hypercube sampling (other schemes with good space-filling properties can be used), we iteratively augment the training set with extra simulations at new parameter positions which balance the need to reduce interpolation error while focussing on regions of high likelihood.

When combined with supernova Ia data, we find H0 = 67. 3+/-1. 0 km/s/Mpc even for our most general dark energy model, in tension with some direct measurements.
