• CMB shift parameter as in LCDM
• WMAP9 measurement of parameter

Explanation

The full WMAP likelihood is slow and requires a full Boltzmann
integration (also slow) to get the CMB spectra.

This module uses a lightweight alternative - the CMB shift parameter,
which can be calculated from background evolution alone.

This does not provide as much information as the full likelihood.

##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.

##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.

##Outputs

These parameters and data are computed as outputs from the module
