Going beyond the galaxy power spectrum: An analysis of BOSS data with wavelet scattering transforms

G Valogiannis, C Dvorkin - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We perform the first application of the wavelet scattering transform (WST) to actual galaxy
observations, through a WST analysis of the BOSS DR12 CMASS dataset. We included the …
