On the assumption of Gaussianity for cosmological two-point statistics and parameter dependent covariance matrices
Julien Carron
In this brief paper we revisit the Fisher information content of cosmological power spectra or two-point functions of Gaussian fields in order to comment on the assumption of Gauss…

On the inadequacy of N-point correlation functions to describe nonlinear cosmological fields: explicit examples and connection to simulations
Julien Carron, Mark C. Neyrinck
Motivated by recent results on lognormal statistics showing that the moment hierarchy of a lognormal variable completely fails at capturing its information content in the large var…

Information escaping the correlation hierarchy of the convergence field in the study of cosmological parameters
Julien Carron
Using fits to numerical simulations, we show that the entire hierarchy of moments quickly ceases to provide a complete description of the convergence one-point probability density…
