关于宇宙学相关协方差矩阵的估计

On estimating cosmology-dependent covariance matrices

Christopher B. Morrison, Michael D. Schneider

摘要:

我们描述了一个统计模型来估计物质示踪剂两点关联函数的协方差矩阵与宇宙学模拟。假设一个固定数量的宇宙学模拟运行,我们描述了如何建立一个“统计模拟器”的两点函数协方差在一个指定的范围内输入宇宙学参数。由于不同的宇宙学模型的模拟运行有助于约束协方差的形式,我们预测,宇宙学相关的协方差可以估计与一个相当数量的模拟,将需要估计固定的宇宙学的协方差。我们的框架是计划分析下一代宇宙学调查的模拟活动的必要的第一步。

英文摘要:

We describe a statistical model to estimate the covariance matrix of matter tracer two-point correlation functions with cosmological simulations. Assuming a fixed number of cosmological simulation runs, we describe how to build a `statistical emulator' of the two-point function covariance over a specified range of input cosmological parameters. Because the simulation runs with different cosmological models help to constrain the form of the covariance, we predict that the cosmology-dependent covariance may be estimated with a comparable number of simulations as would be needed to estimate the covariance for fixed cosmology. Our framework is a necessary first step in planning a simulations campaign for analyzing the next generation of cosmological surveys.
