Large Covariance Matrices: Smooth Models from the 2-Point Correlation Function

Ross O'Connell, Daniel Eisenstein, Mariana Vargas +2

We introduce a new method for estimating the covariance matrix for the galaxy correlation function in surveys of large-scale structure. Our method combines simple theoretical resul…
