Abstract

We present an analysis of the 4 year data from the COBE DMR experiment. We use a Karhunen-Loève expansion of the pixel data to calculate the normalization and goodness of fit of a range of models of structure formation. This technique produces unbiased normalization estimates and is capable of determining the normalization of any particular model with a statistical uncertainty of 7%. We present a parameterization of the normalization and likelihood function which summarizes our results for a wide range of models. We use the COBE normalization to compute small-scale fluctuation amplitudes for a variety of models and discuss the implications of these results for theories of large-scale structure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
