Why we like this method• Lossless• Smaller “vertical” error bars• Smaller “horizontal” error bars• No additive noise/foreground bias

Page 12: Power Spectrum Estimation in Theory and in Practice

Why we like this method• Lossless• Smaller “vertical” error bars• Smaller “horizontal” error bars• No additive noise/foreground bias• A systematic framework for evaluating

error statistics

Page 14: Power Spectrum Estimation in Theory and in Practice

Why we like this method• Lossless• Smaller “vertical” error bars• Smaller “horizontal” error bars• No additive noise/foreground bias• A systematic framework for evaluating

error statistics

BUT• Computationally expensive because

matrix inverse scales as O(n3). [Recall C-1x]

• Error statistics for 16 by 16 by 30 dataset takes CPU-months

O(n log n) version• Finding the matrix inverse C-1 is the

slowest step.

Page 18: Power Spectrum Estimation in Theory and in Practice

O(n log n) version• Finding the matrix inverse C-1 is the

slowest step.• Use the conjugate gradient method for

finding C-1x, which only requires being able to multiply by Cx.

Page 19: Power Spectrum Estimation in Theory and in Practice

O(n log n) version• Finding the matrix inverse C-1 is the

slowest step.• Use the conjugate gradient method for

finding C-1, which only requires being able to multiply by C.

• Multiplication is quick in basis where matrices are diagonal.

O(n log n) version• Finding the matrix inverse C-1 is the

slowest step.• Use the conjugate gradient method for

finding C-1, which only requires being able to multiply by C.

• Multiplication is quick in basis where matrices are diagonal.

• Need to multiply by C = Cnoise + Csync + Cps + …

Page 21: Power Spectrum Estimation in Theory and in Practice

Different components are diagonal in different

combinations of Fourier space

C = Cps + Csync + Cnoise + …

FKP + FFT version• Foreground avoidance instead of

foreground subtraction.• Use FFTs to get O(n log n) scaling,

adjusting for non-cubic geometry using weightings.

FKP + FFT version• Foreground avoidance instead of

foreground subtraction.• Use FFTs to get O(n log n) scaling,

adjusting for non-cubic geometry using weightings.

• Use Feldman-Kaiser-Peacock (FKP) approximation– Power estimates from neighboring k-cells

perfectly correlated and therefore redundant.– Power estimates from far away k-cells

uncorrelated.– Approximation encapsulated by FKP

weighting.– Optimal (same as full inverse variance

method) on scales much smaller than survey volume.
