Abstract We present a coherent, re-usable python framework building on the CosmoPower emulator code for high-accuracy calculations of cosmological observables with Einstein-Boltzmann codes. For detailed statistical analyses, such codes require high computing power, making parameter space exploration costly, especially beyond-ΛCDM analyses. Machine learning-enabled emulators are becoming an increasingly popular solution to this problem. To enable generation, sharing and use inference, we...

This work introduces a novel framework for full-waveform seismic source inversion using simulation-based inference (SBI). Traditional probabilistic approaches often rely on simplifying assumptions about data errors, which we show can lead to inaccurate uncertainty quantification. SBI addresses this limitation by building an empirical model of the errors machine learning models, known as neural density estimators, then be integrated into Bayesian framework.

Summary This paper presents a novel framework for full-waveform seismic source inversion using simulation-based inference (SBI). Traditional probabilistic approaches often rely on simplifying assumptions about data errors, which we show can lead to inaccurate uncertainty quantification.

Abstract Comparison of appropriate models to describe observational data is a fundamental task science. The Bayesian model evidence, or marginal likelihood, computationally challenging, yet crucial, quantity estimate perform comparison. We introduce methodology compute the evidence in simulation-based inference (SBI) scenarios (often called likelihood-free inference). In particular, we leverage recently proposed learned harmonic mean estimator and exploit fact that it decoupled from method...

The Fisher matrix is a widely used tool to forecast the performance of future experiments and approximate likelihood large data sets. Most forecasts for cosmological parameters in galaxy clustering studies rely on approach large-scale like DES, Euclid, or SKA. Here we improve upon standard method by taking into account three effects: finite window function, correlation between redshift bins, uncertainty bin redshift. first two effects are negligible only limit infinite surveys. third effect,...
