GEOMAX: beyond linear compression for 3pt galaxy clustering statistics

1 code implementation2 Dec 2019 Davide Gualdi, Héctor Gil-Marín, Marc Manera, Benjamin Joachimi, Ofer Lahav

By applying GEOMAX to bispectrum monopole measurements from BOSS DR12 CMASS redshift-space galaxy clustering data, we reduce the $68\%$ credible intervals for the inferred parameters $\left(b_1, b_2, f,\sigma_8\right)$ by $\left(50. 4\%, 56. 1\%, 33. 2\%, 38. 3\%\right)$ with respect to standard MCMC on the full data vector.

Deep learning dark matter map reconstructions from DES SV weak lensing data

2 code implementations1 Aug 2019 Niall Jeffrey, François Lanusse, Ofer Lahav, Jean-Luc Starck

With a validation set of 8000 simulated DES SV data realisations, compared to Wiener filtering with a fixed power spectrum, the DeepMass method improved the mean-square-error (MSE) by 11 per cent.

Geometrical compression: a new method to enhance the BOSS galaxy bispectrum monopole constraints

1 code implementation4 Jan 2019 Davide Gualdi, Héctor Gil-Marín, Marc Manera, Benjamin Joachimi, Ofer Lahav

We present a novel method to compress galaxy clustering three-point statistics and apply it to redshift space galaxy bispectrum monopole measurements from BOSS DR12 CMASS data considering a $k$-space range of $0. 03-0. 12\, h/\mathrm{Mpc}$.

Estimating the Mass of the Local Group using Machine Learning Applied to Numerical Simulations

no code implementations8 Jun 2016 Michael McLeod, Noam Libeskind, Ofer Lahav, Yehuda Hoffman

The resulting estimate for the Local Group mass, when shear information is included, is $4. 9 \times 10^{12} M_\odot$, with an error of $\pm0. 8 \times 10^{12} M_\odot$ from the 68% uncertainty in observables, and a 68% confidence interval of $^{+1. 3}_{-1. 4} \times 10^{12}M_\odot$ from the intrinsic scatter from the differences between the model and simulation masses.

ANNz2 - photometric redshift and probability distribution function estimation using machine learning

1 code implementation2 Jul 2015 Iftach Sadeh, Filipe B. Abdalla, Ofer Lahav

We present ANNz2, a new implementation of the public software for photometric redshift (photo-z) estimation of Collister and Lahav (2004), which now includes generation of full probability distribution functions (PDFs).

PkANN - II. A non-linear matter power spectrum interpolator developed using artificial neural networks

no code implementations7 Dec 2013 Shankar Agarwal, Filipe B. Abdalla, Hume A. Feldman, Ofer Lahav, Shaun A. Thomas

The overall precision of PkANN is set by the accuracy of our N-body simulations, at 5 per cent level for cosmological models with $\sum m_\nu<0. 5$ eV for all redshifts $z\leq2$.

PkANN - I. Non-linear matter power spectrum interpolation through artificial neural networks

no code implementations8 Mar 2012 Shankar Agarwal, Filipe B. Abdalla, Hume A. Feldman, Ofer Lahav, Shaun A. Thomas

We show that an optimally trained artificial neural network (ANN), when presented with a set of cosmological parameters (Omega_m h^2, Omega_b h^2, n_s, w_0, sigma_8, m_nu and redshift z), can provide a worst-case error <=1 per cent (for z<=2) fit to the non-linear matter power spectrum deduced through N-body simulations, for modes up to k<=0. 7 h/Mpc.

Massive Lossless Data Compression and Multiple Parameter Estimation from Galaxy Spectra

1 code implementation6 Nov 1999 Alan Heavens, Raul Jimenez, Ofer Lahav

We show that, if the noise in the data is independent of the parameters, we can form $M$ linear combinations of the data which contain as much information about all the parameters as the entire dataset, in the sense that the Fisher information matrices are identical; i. e. the method is lossless.
