While in an MCMC analysis, the EDE model is disfavoured by Cosmic Microwave Background and large-scale structure data, a frequentist profile likelihood analysis prefers consistently larger amounts of EDE and with that a Hubble constant consistent with low-redshift probes. The difference between MCMC and profile likelihood can be explained by prior volume effects in the MCMC analysis. I will describe how a frequentist profile likelihood yields important complementary information compared to a Bayesian MCMC analysis. Pour plus d'informations, merci de contacter Poulin V. |
