Abstract

We explore power spectrum estimation in the context of a Gaussian approximation to the likelihood function. Using the Saskatoon data, we estimate the power averaged through a set of ten filters designed to make the errors on the power estimates uncorrelated. We also present an improvement to using the window function, Wl, for calculating bandpower estimates.
