The effect on cosmological parameter estimation of a parameter dependent covariance matrix

The effect on cosmological parameter estimation of a parameter dependent covariance matrix

Cosmological large-scale structure analyses based on two-point correlation functions often assume a Gaussian likelihood function with a fixed covariance matrix. We study the impact on cosmological parameter estimation of ignoring the parameter dependence of this covariance matrix, focusing on the pa...
