Assumptions:
- WiggleZ dark energy survey data set
- FLRW metric and standard BAO size
Explanation
This module gives a likelihood of the redshift-distance and redshift-Hubble
relations in combined form D_v = (da2 * (1+z)2 * dr)**(1./3.)
where dr = z / H. It uses the sound horizon at last-scatter rs_zdrag and
the predicted expansion since last scattering to predict the BAO size
at the redshifts at which the WiggleZ survey measured them.
A correlated Gaussian likelihood is then returned.
##Parameters
These parameters can be set in the module's section in the ini parameter file.
If no default is specified then the parameter is required.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| data_file | string, path to file with measured z - D_v values in (default: included file) |
| weight_file | string, path to inverse covariance matrix file (default: included file) |
| rs_fiducial | Real, Fiducial value of sound horizon at last scattering used in making data (default=148.6) |
| verbose | Bool, Print extra output (default = False) |
##Inputs
These parameters and data are inputs to the module, either supplied as parameters by the sampler or computed by some previous module. They are loaded from the data block.
| Section | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| distances | z | 1D real array, redshifts of samples |
| d_a | 1D real array, angular diameter distance in Mpc | |
| h | 1D real array, hubble parameter with in units of Mpc | |
| rz_zdrag | real, sound horizon at last scattering in Mpc |
##Outputs
These parameters and data are computed as outputs from the module
| Section | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| likelihoods | wigglez_bao_like | real, likelihood of supplied expansion history |
