Matching Bayesian and frequentist coverage probabilities when using an approximate data covariance matrix

Will J. Percival et al.

Summary: Observational astrophysics involves making inferences about the Universe through data and model comparisons. Credible intervals for model parameters are as important as maximum a posteriori probability values, and intermediate statistics are used to fit models to data. The likelihood for these statistics is usually assumed to have a multivariate Gaussian form and the covariance matrix is estimated from simulations. We introduce a prior that matches the covariance of the posterior to the distribution of true values around the maximum likelihood values, offering a consistent and conservative approach for credible intervals.

The completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: 1000 multi-tracer mock catalogues with redshift evolution and systematics for galaxies and quasars of the final data release

Cheng Zhao et al.

Summary: The study produced 1000 synthetic clustering catalogues to provide reliable estimates and test the robustness of the analysis of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys data. By extending the Zel'dovich approximation density field with an effective tracer bias model, the researchers accurately reproduced the clustering statistics of the tracers in the redshift space.

Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Cosmological implications from two decades of spectroscopic surveys at the Apache Point Observatory

Shadab Alam et al.

Summary: Based on the final measurements of clustering using galaxies, quasars, and Ly alpha forests from the SDSS lineage, this study provides comprehensive cosmological implications. The BAO data alone can rule out dark-energy-free models, and when combined with other measurements, significant improvements are made on constraining cosmological parameters within the ΛCDM model. The results indicate that various parameter extensions remain consistent with a ΛCDM model in a combined analysis, showing precision changes of less than 0.6% in key parameters.
