understanding perldl
Hmmm. Not my most productive day ever. Spent the morning going back over the .pl scripts I have to calculate covariance matrices and correlation functions to make sure all the errors tallied to the right bins. They did and I do essentially now have (for the first ever time) a xi(s) for the entire 2SLAQ LRG Sample 8 with proper jackknife errors. Bout ruddy time too.
Lunchtime talk was given by the IPPP and the statement to discuss was "WMAP3 rules out inflation models with potentials greater than or equal to phi^4." Hmmmm, interesting but didn't quite understand (like many of the audience) what assumptions go into making this claim. Also "racetrack" potentials are still favoured. However, it does seem as if n_s is red...
Spent most of the afternoon reading-up on basic astrophysics and jotting down a few things for my "Employmen Information Package".
Shanks in Nottingham today. Nuff said.
Tomorrow am: Bulk up jots and re-jig Statement of Research Interests.
Tomorrow pm: FITS files and sodding xi(sigma, pi) (leftover from today!)
