Description

This upload contains the data and code used for our Fast Radio Burst forecast, constraining reionization and cosmological parameters (arXiv:2107.14242). The data includes both, the generated synthetic observations, as well as the Nested Sampling chains used to produce the results and figures.

The minimal set to run the analysis (FlexKnotFRB-small) takes up 6.5 GB (uncompressed) of disk space and can be used to reproduce everything except the high-resolution version of Figure 3. (That version can also be reproduce but would take ~24h.) The full set (FlexKnotFRB-full) takes 31 GB and contains pre-computed cache files allowing to regenerate all paper plots quickly (<<1h). Finally the extra chains which contain additional runs with different seeds and a run with different priors take 68 GB of disk space uncompressed.

The most recent code (but not the Nested Sampling chains) is also available on GitHub.
