Parameter Covariance Matrices

Parameter Covariance Matrices

These files contain the statistical-only, systematic-only, and statistical-plus-systematic parameter covariance matrices for each level of cluster masking.

The statistical-only parameter covariance matrix for no cluster cut is here.

The statistical-only parameter covariance matrix for clusters cut above M200(rho_crit)=8e14 Msun/h is here.

The statistical-only parameter covariance matrix for clusters cut above M200(rho_crit)=3e14 Msun/h is here.

The systematic-only parameter covariance matrix for no cluster cut is here.

The systematic-only parameter covariance matrix for clusters cut above M200(rho_crit)=8e14 Msun/h is here.

The systematic-only parameter covariance matrix for clusters cut above M200(rho_crit)=3e14 Msun/h is here.

The statistical-plus-systematic parameter covariance matrix for no cluster cut is here.

The statistical-plus-systematic parameter covariance matrix for clusters cut above M200(rho_crit)=8e14 Msun/h is here.

The statistical-plus-systematic parameter covariance matrix for clusters cut above M200(rho_crit)=3e14 Msun/h is here.
