Title: Multiwavelength cluster mass estimates and machine learning

Abstract

ABSTRACT One emerging application of machine learning methods is the inference of galaxy cluster masses. In this note, machine learning is used to directly combine five simulated multiwavelength measurements in order to find cluster masses. This is in contrast to finding mass estimates for each observable, normally by using a scaling relation, and then combining these scaling law based mass estimates using a likelihood. We also illustrate how the contributions of each observable to the accuracy of the resulting mass measurement can be compared via model-agnostic Importance Permutation values. Thirdly, as machine learning relies upon the accuracy of the training set in capturing observables, their correlations, and the observational selection function, and as the machine learning training set originates from simulations, two tests of whether a simulation’s correlations are consistent with observations are suggested and explored as well.
