Fast estimation of aperture mass statistics II: Detectability of higher order statistics in current and future surveys

Lucas Porth, Robert E. Smith

We explore an alternative method to the usual shear correlation function approach for the estimation of aperture mass statistics in weak lensing survey data. Our approach builds on…

Testing one-loop galaxy bias: joint analysis of power spectrum and bispectrum

Alexander Eggemeier, Román Scoccimarro, Robert E. Smith +3

We present a joint likelihood analysis of the real-space power spectrum and bispectrum measured from a variety of halo and galaxy mock catalogs. A novel aspect of this work is the…

Fast estimation of aperture-mass statistics I: aperture mass variance and an application to the CFHTLenS data

Lucas Porth, Robert E. Smith, Patrick Simon +2

We explore an alternative method to the usual shear correlation function approach for the estimation of aperture mass statistics in weak lensing survey data. Our approach builds on…

A network perspective on intermedia agenda-setting

Samuel Stern, Giacomo Livan, Robert E. Smith

In Communication Theory, intermedia agenda-setting refers to the influence that different news sources may have on each other, and how this subsequently affects the breadth of info…

Bias Loop Corrections to the Galaxy Bispectrum

Alexander Eggemeier, Roman Scoccimarro, Robert E. Smith

Combination of the power spectrum and bispectrum is a powerful way of breaking degeneracies between galaxy bias and cosmological parameters, enabling us to maximize the constrainin…

When facts fail: Bias, polarisation and truth in social networks

Orowa Sikder, Robert E. Smith, Pierpaolo Vivo +1

Online social networks provide users with unprecedented opportunities to engage with diverse opinions. At the same time, they enable confirmation bias on large scales by empowering…
