NON-GAUSSIAN ERROR CONTRIBUTION TO LIKELIHOOD ANALYSIS OF THE MATTER POWER SPECTRUM
We study the sample variance of the matter power spectrum for the standard Λ cold dark matter universe. We use a total of 5000 cosmological N-body simulations to study in detail the distribution of best-fit cosmological parameters and the baryon acoustic peak positions. The obtained distribution is compared with the …
