Straightening the Density-Displacement Relation with a Logarithmic Transform

Bridget L. Falck, Mark C. Neyrinck, Miguel A. Aragon-Calvo +2

We investigate the use of a logarithmic density variable in estimating the Lagrangian displacement field, motivated by the success of a logarithmic transformation in restoring info…
