Primordial non-Gaussianity from a joint analysis of the cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization
We explore a systematic approach to the analysis of primordial non-Gaussianity using fluctuations in the temperature and polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Following Munshi & Heavens, we define a set of power spectra as compressed forms of the bispectrum and trispectrum derived fromCMB temperature and polarization maps; these spectra compress the information content of the c...
متن کاملClassic and Bayes Shrinkage Estimation in Rayleigh Distribution Using a Point Guess Based on Censored Data
Introduction In classical methods of statistics, the parameter of interest is estimated based on a random sample using natural estimators such as maximum likelihood or unbiased estimators (sample information). In practice, the researcher has a prior information about the parameter in the form of a point guess value. Information in the guess value is called as nonsample information. Thomp...
متن کاملA new approach to probing primordial non-Gaussianity
We address the dual challenge of estimating deviations from Gaussianity arising in models of the early Universe, whilst retaining information necessary to assess whether a detection of nonGaussianity is primordial. We do this by constructing a new statistic, the bispectrum-related power spectrum, which is constructed from a map of the cosmic microwave background. The estimator is optimized for ...
متن کاملThe Best Unbiased Estimator for the Cmb Angular Bispectrum
While the statistical properties of the CMB anisotropies are a powerful means to discriminate amongst the possible cosmological scenarios, actually measuring non-Gaussianity in the data is a very difficult task1. The typically small signal should be compared to the noise and the key quantity is the signal to noise ratio. The noise creeps into the dataset through instrumental errors, foregrounds...
متن کاملThree-point Statistics from a New Perspective
Multipole expansion of spatial three-point statistics is introduced as a tool for investigating and displaying configuration dependence. The novel parametrization renders the relation between bi-spectrum and three-point correlation function especially transparent as a set of two-dimensional Hankel transforms. It is expected on theoretical grounds, that three-point statistics can be described ac...
