Bayesian optimal reconstruction of the primordial power spectrum
M. Bridges, F. Feroz, M. P. Hobson +1
The form of the primordial power spectrum has the potential to differentiate strongly between competing models of perturbation generation in the early universe and so is of conside…
MultiNest: an efficient and robust Bayesian inference tool for cosmology and particle physics
F. Feroz, M. P. Hobson, M. Bridges
We present further development and the first public release of our multimodal nested sampling algorithm, called MultiNest. This Bayesian inference tool calculates the evidence, wit…
Bianchi VII_h models and the cold spot texture
M. Bridges, J. D. McEwen, M. Cruz +4
We have returned to our previous Bianchi VII_h analysis in light of the Cruz et al. 2007 suggestion that the cold spot observed near the southern Galactic pole may be a remnant tem…
{\sc CosmoNet}: fast cosmological parameter estimation in non-flat models using neural networks
T. Auld, M. Bridges, M. P. Hobson
We present a further development of a method for accelerating the calculation of CMB power spectra, matter power spectra and likelihood functions for use in cosmological Bayesian i…
Efficient Bayesian inference for multimodal problems in cosmology
J. R. Shaw, M. Bridges, M. P. Hobson
Bayesian model selection provides the cosmologist with an exacting tool to distinguish between competing models based purely on the data, via the Bayesian evidence. Previous method…
Fast cosmological parameter estimation using neural networks
T. Auld, M. Bridges, M. P. Hobson +1
We present a method for accelerating the calculation of CMB power spectra, matter power spectra and likelihood functions for use in cosmological parameter estimation. The algorithm…
WMAP 3-year primordial power spectrum
M. Bridges, A. N. Lasenby, M. P. Hobson
We constrain the form of the primordial power spectrum using Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) 3-year cosmic microwave background (CMB) data (+ other high resolution CMB…
Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis of Bianchi VII_h models
M. Bridges, J. D. McEwen, A. N. Lasenby +1
We have extended the analysis of Jaffe et al. to a complete Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) study of the Bianchi type models including a dark energy density, using 1-…
A Bayesian analysis of the primordial power spectrum
M. Bridges, A. N. Lasenby, M. P. Hobson
We present a Bayesian analysis of large-scale structure and cosmic microwave background data to constrain the form of the primordial power spectrum. We have extended the usual pres…
