discrepancy of ns-r diagram between getdist and official plo

Post by Jack Sparrow » June 06 2017

When I use the getdist to plot the ns-r diagram (base_nrun_r_plikHM_TT_lowTEB_BKP), I found that the r of solid line is almost 0.12,

While in the paper

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1502.01589.pdf

There is a similar plot, Fig.21. There, the corresponding value is around 0.1.

I am curious why there is a difference based on the same data. Can somebody explian? Thanks!!

Fig 21 does not marginalize over running.

Thanks!! But would you mind being more specific? What do you mean running? What should I do if I want to get a similar figure as Fig.21?

Thanks!

Running refers to running of the spectral index (n_run). In the chains you used n_run was varied (and thus could be marginalized over). To produce figure 21, n_run was not varied so the constraints obtained will be slightly different.
