### Custom Covariance Matrix Question

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a project using cosmomc and I want to separate the data in two different categories. The first one consists of BAORSD+DES+lowl data and the other one of highl+BAO+Pantheon+HST data. I have successfully obtained the following contours for the first set of data but as you can see clearly from the following picture they are not at all smooth.

where is an extra parameter of my model. In my analysis in the test.ini file I have set the propose matrix to be

Code: Select all

propose_matrix= planck_covmats/base_BAO_HST_JLA_TT_lensing_lowTEB_plik.covmat
Could it be because the covariance matrix does not correspond to the specific combination of data? I have searched the folder planck_covmats but I can not find the specific combination that I want. I am not sure what changes should I make in order to obtain an accurate covariance matrix corresponding to the exact combination of data. Is there an easy way to do that?
