How to extract the "matter fluctuation amplitude" from the CMB power spectrum?

How do you convert the value listed in Planck 2018 results. VI. Cosmological parameters, $A_s = 2.101\times10^{-9}$ to the value of the matter fluctuation amplitude $\sigma_8=0.8111$? I tried ...

Does it make sense to whiten the data in order to apply a matched filtering algorithm if my dataset consist of a sinusoid + random Gaussian noise?

With a Python program I generated a sinusoid signal and I added to it Gaussian noise. Now I want to compute the optimal SNR by applying a matched filtering algorithm. Since the noise is white (at ...

How to "classify" signals?

I have some signals and I want to classify them into different types. Signals are all sine shape signals, some might have glitches. I know I could classify them base on frequency or amplitude, but is ...

FFT on a signal with a length that is not a multiple of the period of its harmonics

I was very surprised to find an apparent limitation to a FFT on a simple signal. Let's consider a timeseries made of L=100 points, and simply composed of the sum of two sinus waves: one with a ...

Measuring typical distance between patches using 2D Fourier Transform

I need to extract information about the typical distance between the black patches in an image like the one I attached here. I tried to perform 2D FFT on it (using OpenCF fdt function in Python), but ...
