A Systematic Study of Projection Biases in Weak Lensing Analysis

P. R. V. Chintalapati, G. Gutierrez, M. H. L. S. Wang

摘要:

我们对暗能量调查(DES)实验第一年数据的弱透镜分析中的投影偏差进行了系统研究。在分析中,我们使用了一个$Λ$ CDM模型和三个两点关联函数。我们发现,这些偏见是一个后果的投影,或边缘化,在参数,如$h$,$Ω_b$,$n_s$和$Ω_νh^2$,这是约束和相关性都很差的参数,如$Ω_m$,$σ_8$和$S_8$的利益。覆盖相关的参数空间,我们表明,投影偏差是一个函数的约束条件差的参数的真实值在于相对于参数先验。例如,如果$h$和$n_s$的真值接近先验范围的顶部,而$Ω_b$和$Ω_νh^2$的真值接近其先验范围的底部,则后验的位置偏差可能超过1.5 $σ$水平。我们还表明,在某些情况下,1D可信区间可以超过指定多达30%,覆盖率可以低至27%。最后,我们估计这些预测偏差的分析三年和六年的DES数据。

英文摘要:

We present a systematic study of projection biases in the weak lensing analysis of the first year of data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) experiment. In the analysis we used a $Λ$CDM model and three two-point correlation functions. We show that these biases are a consequence of projecting, or marginalizing, over parameters like $h$, $Ω_b$, $n_s$ and $Ω_νh^2$ that are both poorly constrained and correlated with the parameters of interest like $Ω_m$, $σ_8$ and $S_8$. Covering the relevant parameter space we show that the projection biases are a function of where the true values of the poorly constrained parameters lie with respect to the parameter priors. For example, biases in the position of the posteriors can exceed the 1.5$σ$ level if the true values of $h$ and $n_s$ are close to the top of the prior's range and the true values of $Ω_b$ and $Ω_νh^2$ are close to the bottom of the range of their priors. We also show that in some cases the 1D credible intervals can be over-specified by as much as 30% and coverage can be as low as 27%. Finally we estimate these projection biases for the analysis of three and six years worth of DES data.
