Smokescreen – DESC Library for concealing cosmological results
Smokescreen (currently under development) contains the modules for data concealment (blinding) at the following levels of the analysis:
Data-vector measurements
Posterior distribution [not yet developed]
(TBC) Catalogues
Attention
The term “blinding” is used in the context of data concealment for scientific analysis. We understand this is an outdated term and we are working to update it to a more appropriate term. If you have any suggestions, please let us know.
Smokescreen’s data-vector blinding methodis based on the Muir et al. (2021) and was developed to be used as part of DESC measurements and inference pipelines such as TXPipe .
