Description

Next generation cosmological surveys will provide an avalanche of cosmological observations. This increase in scientific data needs to be accompanied with the development of novel information processing techniques to interpret such observations. Analyses of three dimensional inhomogeneous large scale structures require to jointly account for complex dynamical processes, associated to the gravitational formation history of the dark matter distribution, together with systematic as well as stochastic effects arising from observational procedures. We address this problem of large scale Bayesian inference from cosmological data sets via our recently developed BORG algorithm. This approach incorporates three dimensional physical models of cosmological structure formation immediately into a Bayesian inference framework. Detailed physical modelling of data permits us to increase the signal to noise ratio of inferred quantities by at least one order of magnitude. In conclusion, our approach provides new avenues to study the full four dimensional state of our Universe in cosmological data.
