Fast cosmological parameter estimation using neural networks
We present a method for accelerating the calculation of CMB power spectra, matter power spectra and likelihood functions for use in cosmological parameter estimation. The algorithm, called COSMONET, is based on training a multilayer perceptron neural network and shares all the advantages of the recently released PICO algorithm of Fendt & Wandelt, but has several additional benefits in terms of ...
متن کاملEffects of CMB temperature uncertainties on cosmological parameter estimation
We estimate the effect of the experimental uncertainty in the measurement of the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on the extraction of cosmological parameters from future CMB surveys. We find that even for an ideal experiment limited only by cosmic variance up to l = 2500 for both the temperature and polarisation measurements, the projected cosmological parameter errors are ...
متن کاملCosmological Parameter Estimation and the Spectral Index from Innation
Accurate estimation of cosmological parameters from microwave background aniso-tropies requires high-accuracy understanding of the cosmological model. Normally, a power-law spectrum of density perturbations is assumed, in which case the spectral index n can be measured to around 0:004 using microwave anisotropy satellites such as MAP and Planck. However, innationary models generically predict t...
متن کاملStatistical methods for cosmological parameter selection and estimation
The estimation of cosmological parameters from precision observables is an important industry with crucial ramifications for particle physics. This article discusses the statistical methods presently used in cosmological data analysis, highlighting the main assumptions and uncertainties. The topics covered are parameter estimation, model selection, multi-model inference, and experimental design...
متن کاملFast and reliable MCMC for cosmological parameter estimation
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques are now widely used for cosmological parameter estimation. Chains are generated to sample the posterior probability distribution obtained following the Bayesian approach. An important issue is how to optimize the efficiency of such sampling and how to diagnose whether a finite-length chain has adequately sampled the underlying posterior probability dis...
