+ | Hi Shaul and all, | ||
+ | |||
+ | I'm looking at the equations in the appendix now, and I'm not entirely | ||
+ | sure what you're referring to as "not consistent" | ||
+ | the Gaussian likeliood, and in this case the free parameters are r and | ||
+ | A_l. Equations A2 and A3 defines the GBR estimator, and in this case the | ||
+ | free parameters are (at this stage) C_l's, rather than r and A_l. Are | ||
+ | you proposing that we should replace C_l in Eq. A2-A3 with the full | ||
+ | expression? If so, it's important to note that we are *not* using the | ||
+ | (r,A_l) model in the GBR approach, but rather have a grid of models with | ||
+ | different r's (and A_l = 1) computed directly with CAMB, so the C_l | ||
+ | models aren't the same. In effect, for the Gaussian likelihood analysis | ||
+ | one assumes that the BB spectra scale linearly with r all the way from | ||
+ | r=1 to 0, and that's obviously not exactly true. That's why we use preer | ||
+ | to use a precomputed CAMB grid instead, in which case the non-linearity | ||
+ | is taken into account. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If this is what you're referring to, I think it's better to describe | ||
+ | this in words, than actually change the equations. Alternatively, | ||
+ | might be cleaner to just replace the big C_l model in Eq. A4 with a | ||
+ | general C_l(r,A_l), and then specify in the text that these differ | ||
+ | between the two approaches. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Whatever you prefer, I'm leaving for vacation this afternoon, so Mathew | ||
+ | should implement this when he gets back. Alternatively, | ||
+ | this in early August. Irrespective of when it happens, I don't really | ||
+ | think that this is a major hold-up to finishing the paper. Rather, what | ||
+ | is needed, is *one* person getting full editorial rights for the entire | ||
+ | paper, and simply writes it up end-to-end. That can probably be done in | ||
+ | a matter of two or three days with continuous writing time. Having | ||
+ | individual people write separate section will take very long to | ||
+ | converge, I think... | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thanks, and have a nice summer :-) |
