摘要:

我们介绍了一个有序分类算法的光度红移估计,显着提高了重建的光度红移概率密度函数(PDF)的个别星系和星系样本。作为一个用例,我们应用我们的方法CFHTLS星系。有序分类算法将不同的红移箱视为有序值,与非有序分类架构相比,这提高了光度红移PDF的质量。我们还提出了一个新的单值点估计的星系红移,可以用来估计一个星系样本的全部红移PDF。这种方法在精度方面与当代算法具有竞争力,当代算法将样本中所有星系的全部红移PDF叠加在一起,但需要的存储空间少了几个数量级。本文所描述的方法大大提高了个别对象红移PDF的对数似然,与流行的神经网络代码(ANNz)相比。在我们的用例中,对于高红移物体($z \geq 0.75$),这种改进达到50%。我们表明,使用这些更准确的光度红移PDF将导致减少系统偏差的四个因素,当与不太准确的PDF从常用的方法获得。宇宙学的分析,我们检查,并发现改进后,如下:引力透镜集群质量的估计,建模的角度关联函数,和建模的宇宙剪切关联函数。

英文摘要:

We introduce an ordinal classification algorithm for photometric redshift estimation, which significantly improves the reconstruction of photometric redshift probability density functions (PDFs) for individual galaxies and galaxy samples. As a use case we apply our method to CFHTLS galaxies. The ordinal classification algorithm treats distinct redshift bins as ordered values, which improves the quality of photometric redshift PDFs, compared with non-ordinal classification architectures. We also propose a new single value point estimate of the galaxy redshift, that can be used to estimate the full redshift PDF of a galaxy sample. This method is competitive in terms of accuracy with contemporary algorithms, which stack the full redshift PDFs of all galaxies in the sample, but requires orders of magnitudes less storage space. The methods described in this paper greatly improve the log-likelihood of individual object redshift PDFs, when compared with a popular Neural Network code (ANNz). In our use case, this improvement reaches 50\% for high redshift objects ($z \geq 0.75$). We show that using these more accurate photometric redshift PDFs will lead to a reduction in the systematic biases by up to a factor of four, when compared with less accurate PDFs obtained from commonly used methods. The cosmological analyses we examine and find improvement upon are the following: gravitational lensing cluster mass estimates, modelling of angular correlation functions, and modelling of cosmic shear correlation functions.
