Strong lensing modelling details

Explanation

Balmes & Corasaniti measured H0 using strong lensing systems.

This module uses a likelihood tabulated from their paper.

##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; dir for data files. Data file containing 2 columns H0 and P. You should use the file taken from arXiv:1206.5801 and provided in CosmoSIS under the name balmes.txt unless you want to use a different dataset

##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
cosmological_parameters	h0	Real, Hubble parameter/100 km/s/Mpc

##Outputs

These parameters and data are computed as outputs from the module

Section	Parameter	Description
likelihoods	balmes_sl_like	1D real, likelihood of this strong lensing system given h0
