Meaning of different chi-squares in COSMOMC
Posted: September 02 2016
Hi,
After running getdist, one usually gets the several different types of chi-square values. What do they mean? For example, I get (I show only the best fit values) following 5 types:
While comparing two models which one should I use?
Any insight will be very helpful.
Thanks,

Code: Select all
0.2579038E+02 \chi^2_{\rm lensing}
0.7639290E+03 \chi^2_{\rm plik}
0.1049659E+05 \chi^2_{\rm lowTEB}
0.2068837E+01 \chi^2_{\rm prior}
0.1128631E+05 \chi^2_{\rm CMB}
Any insight will be very helpful.
