The key to detecting neutral hydrogen during the epoch of reionization (EoR) is to separate the cosmological signal from the dominating foreground radiation. We developed direct op…
Bayesian jackknife tests with a small number of subsets: Application to HERA 21cm power spectrum upper limits
Michael J. Wilensky, Fraser Kennedy, Philip Bull +2
We present a Bayesian jackknife test for assessing the probability that a data set contains biased subsets, and, if so, which of the subsets are likely to be biased. The test can b…
