Title: Efficient propagation of systematic uncertainties from calibration to analysis with the SnowStorm method in IceCube

Abstract

Efficient treatment of systematic uncertainties that depend on a large number of nuisance parameters is a persistent difficulty in particle physics and astrophysics experiments. Where low-level effects are not amenable to simple parameterization or re-weighting, analyses often rely on discrete simulation sets to quantify the effects of nuisance parameters on key analysis observables. Such methods may become computationally untenable for analyses requiring high statistics Monte Carlo with a large number of nuisance degrees of freedom, especially in cases where these degrees of freedom parameterize the shape of a continuous distribution. In this paper we present a method for treating systematic uncertainties in a computationally efficient and comprehensive manner using a single simulation set with multiple and continuously varied nuisance parameters. Finally, this method is demonstrated for the case of the depth-dependent effective dust distribution within the IceCube Neutrino Telescope.

  abstractNote = {Efficient treatment of systematic uncertainties that depend on a large number of nuisance parameters is a persistent difficulty in particle physics and astrophysics experiments. Where low-level effects are not amenable to simple parameterization or re-weighting, analyses often rely on discrete simulation sets to quantify the effects of nuisance parameters on key analysis observables. Such methods may become computationally untenable for analyses requiring high statistics Monte Carlo with a large number of nuisance degrees of freedom, especially in cases where these degrees of freedom parameterize the shape of a continuous distribution. In this paper we present a method for treating systematic uncertainties in a computationally efficient and comprehensive manner using a single simulation set with multiple and continuously varied nuisance parameters. Finally, this method is demonstrated for the case of the depth-dependent effective dust distribution within the IceCube Neutrino Telescope.},

Extending BEAMS to incorporate correlated systematic uncertainties

Journal Article Knights, Michelle ; Bassett, Bruce A. ; Varughese, Melvin ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

New supernova surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey, Pan-STARRS and the LSST will produce an unprecedented number of photometric supernova candidates, most with no spectroscopic data. Avoiding biases in cosmological parameters due to the resulting inevitable contamination from non-Ia supernovae can be achieved with the BEAMS formalism, allowing for fully photometric supernova cosmology studies. Here we extend BEAMS to deal with the case in which the supernovae are correlated by systematic uncertainties. The analytical form of the full BEAMS posterior requires evaluating 2{sup N} terms, where N is the number of supernova candidates. This 'exponential catastrophe' is computationally unfeasiblemore »« less

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: marginalization over redshift distribution uncertainties using ranking of discrete realizations

Journal Article Cordero, Juan P. ; Harrison, Ian ; Rollins, Richard P. ; ... - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

Cosmological information from weak lensing surveys is maximized by sorting source galaxies into tomographic redshift subsamples. Any uncertainties on these redshift distributions must be correctly propagated into the cosmological results. We present hyperrank, a new method for marginalizing over redshift distribution uncertainties, using discrete samples from the space of all possible redshift distributions, improving over simple parametrized models. In hyperrank, the set of proposed redshift distributions is ranked according to a small (between one and four) number of summary values, which are then sampled, along with other nuisance parameters and cosmological parameters in the Monte Carlo chain used for inference.more »« less

Photometric redshift uncertainties in weak gravitational lensing shear analysis: models and marginalization

Journal Article Zhang, Tianqing ; Rau, Markus Michael ; Mandelbaum, Rachel ; ... - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

ABSTRACT Recovering credible cosmological parameter constraints in a weak lensing shear analysis requires an accurate model that can be used to marginalize over nuisance parameters describing potential sources of systematic uncertainty, such as the uncertainties on the sample redshift distribution n(z). Due to the challenge of running Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) in the high-dimensional parameter spaces in which the n(z) uncertainties may be parametrized, it is common practice to simplify the n(z) parametrization or combine MCMC chains that each have a fixed n(z) resampled from the n(z) uncertainties. In this work, we propose a statistically principled Bayesian resampling approachmore »« less

Active Subspace Methods for Data-Intensive Inverse Problems (Final Report)

Technical Report Bui-Thanh, Tan

Fostered by advances in computing, simulation and data science have emerged as the third and fourth paradigms enabling scientific discovery. Many mathematical challenges arise when integrating these paradigms to produce new knowledge. One of the most important challenges is the inverse or calibration problem: find the inputs of a simulation such that its outputs agree with a given set of measurements. As both the cost of the complex simulations and the volume of measurement data sets increase, intuition-driven trial-and-error methods for calibration quickly become untenable; modern scientists need more computationally efficient and mathematically rigorous methods.
