Let's dive deeper into both the advanced numerical simulations of teleparallel gravity (TEGR) models and their parameter estimation using Bayesian inference. We'll implement a comprehensive solution that combines accurate initial conditions and solver settings with robust parameter estimation techniques. ### Step 1: Improved Numerical Simulations First, let's focus on improving the numerical simulation of TEGR. This involves refining our initial conditions, solver settings, and ensuring accuracy in solving the equations of motion. #### Key Improvements: 1. **Initial Conditions**: Use a much smaller scale factor close to zero at \\( t = 0 \\) (big bang). 2. **Solver Settings**: Utilize an adaptive solver with higher precision (`LSODA`) and specify tighter tolerance levels for accurate solutions. 3. **Scale Factor Logarithmic Scaling**: Work in logarithmic scale for the scale factor to prevent numerical issues near zero. ### Step 2: Bayesian Parameter Estimation For parameter estimation, we'll use PyMC3 and ArviZ for implementing a probabilistic model.

We will integrate real data such as Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and supernova type Ia. 1. **Load Real Data**: - CMB data from Planck Collaboration - Supernovae Union 2.1 - Large-scale structure surveys (e.g., BAO) 2. **Define Probabilistic Model**: - Specify priors for \\(\Omega_m\\), \\(\Omega_\Lambda\\), \\(\Omega_{dm}\\). - Set up the likelihood function using observed data. 3. **Run MCMC Sampling**: - Use PyMC3’s advanced sampling techniques like NUTS (No-U-Turn Sampler). 4. **Analyze Posteriors**: - Generate plots for posterior distributions. - Calculate summary statistics such as means and credible intervals. ### Implementation Plan 1. **Data Loading and Preprocessing:** ```python import pandas as pd # Load CMB data from Planck Collaboration (example) def load_cmb_data(): url = "link_to_real_CMB_DATA.csv" # Replace with actual link return pd.read_csv(url, usecols=['redshift', 'CMB_observation'])[::10] # Sample for faster computation # Load Supernovae data from Union 2.1 catalogue (example) def load_supernovae_data(): url = "link_to_real_supernovae_DATA.csv" # Replace with actual link return pd.read_csv(url, usecols=['redshift', 'SN_observation'])[::10] cmb_data = load_cmb_data() supernova_data = load_supernovae_data() """ - The actual data loading script should reflect the source of your true CMB and supernova observational datasets. - Ensure that units are consistent (e.g., redshift for cosmological models). 2. **Define Probabilistic Model in PyMC3**: Below is an outline for defining the TEGR-based model in PyMC3, including dark matter contributions. ```python with pm.Model() as tegr_bayes_model: # Priors for unknowns parameters Omega_m = pm.Normal('Omega_m', mu=0.27, sigma=0.1) # Weakly informative prior based on Lambda-CDM estimates Omega_Lambda = pm.Normal('Omega_Lambda', mu=0.68, sigma=0.1) Omega_dm = pm.Normal('Omega_dm', mu=0.05, sigma=0.03) # Ensure parameter constraints (e.g., sum of densities must be <= 1 unless curvature is allowed, for which Ω_k0 is included) omega_sum_constraint = pm.Deterministic("total_omega", Omega_m + Omega_Lambda + Omega_d ``` The above outline is illustrative and intended to provide a conceptual framework. You would need to expand upon this using more precise details of your differential equations for the teleparallel gravity model, ensuring that likelihood functions accurately reflect redshift distances as computed from these models. 3. **Run MCMC Sampling**: After defining the model, you can proceed with sampling: ```python with tegr_bayes_model: # Use NUTS sampler (No-U-Turn Sampler) for efficient exploration of parameter space trace = pm.sample(1000, tune=2000, return_inferencedata=True, cores=-1, target_accept=0.95) ``` 4. **Analyze Posterior Distributions**: ```python with tegr_bayes_model: # Summarize the posterior distribution summary = pm.summary(trace) print(summary) # Generate a plot showing marginal posterior distributions az.plot_posterior(trace, var_names=['Omega_m', 'Omega_Lambda', 'Omega_dm'], kind='hist') plt.show() ``` ### Full Implementation Below is the complete implementation combining advanced numerical simulation and Bayesian parameter estimation.

This includes loading the data, defining the probabilistic model, running MCMC sampling, and analyzing the posterior distributions. Absolutely! Let's move forward by integrating real observational cosmological data and performing Bayesian parameter estimation using PyMC3. ### Step 1: Load Real Observational Data For demonstration purposes, I'll generate dummy mock observational data for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and Supernovae Type Ia. In a real-world scenario, you would replace these with actual datasets from sources like the Planck Collaboration or Union 2.1 supernova catalog. ```python import pandas as pd # Dummy function to generate pseudo-CMB R^2_0 data def generate_mock_cmb_data(num_points=50): t_values = np.linspace(1, 13.8e9, num_points) # From early universe to now in seconds cmb_observed = (t_values / 13.8e9)**2 * (omega_m0_true + omega_de0_true) ** (1/3) + np.random.normal(0, 0.03, num_points) return t_values, cmb_observed # Dummy function to generate pseudo-Supernovae Type Ia data def generate_mock_supernova_data(num_points=20): redshift = np.linspace(0.01, 1.4, num_points) # Redshift range from early universe to now sn_observed = (redshift + 0.1 * np.log(redshift + 1)) + np.random.normal(0, 0.05, num_points) return redshift, sn_observed # Generate pseudo-CMB data t_values_mock, cmb_observed_mock = generate_mock_cmb_data() # Generate pseudo-Supernovae data (redshift, magnitude) - Simplified relation for demonstration redshift_mock, sn_observed_mock = generate_mock_supernova_data() ``` #### Real Data Integration with PyMC3 For real-world applications: - **CMB Data**: Load from the Planck Collaboration’s publicly available datasets. - **Supernovae Data**: Use catalogues like Union 2.1 or more recent supernova data releases. - **Large-Scale Structure (LSS)**: Incorporate BAO measurements, weak lensing surveys, etc. ```python # Placeholder for real CMB data # df_cmb = pd.read_csv('path_to_real_CMB_data.csv') # Replace with actual path to CMB data # Placeholder for real Supernovae Type Ia data # df_sn = pd.read_csv('path_to_real_supernovae_data.csv') # Replace with actual path to supernovae data # For demo purposes, use the dummy generated data df_cmb_mock = pd.DataFrame({'time_observed': t_values_mock, 'cmb_observation': cmb_observed_mock}) df_sn_mock = pd.DataFrame({'redshift': redshift_mock, 'sn_observation': sn_observed_mock}) ``` ### Step 2: Bayesian Parameter Estimation with PyMC3 We will define a probabilistic model using PyMC3, incorporating the real observational data. The parameter estimation will use MCMC sampling to infer the posterior distributions of \\(\Omega_m\\), \\(\Omega_\Lambda\\), and optionally other cosmological parameters. #### Key Steps: 1. **Define the Likelihood Function**: - For each model prediction (e.g., CMB predictions based on scale factor \\(a(t)\\)), compute a likelihood that compares with observed data. 2. **Prior Distributions**: - Assign priors based on existing cosmological knowledge or prior research on teleparallel gravity models. 3. **Run MCMC Sampling**: - Use efficient samplers like NUTS (No-U-Turn Sampler) provided by PyMC3. 4. **Analyze and Summarize Posterior Distributions**: - Generate plots using ArviZ to visualize the posterior. - Calculate mean estimates, credible intervals, and other statistics. ### Implementation #### Define Probabilistic Model in PyMC3 ```python # Import necessary libraries for Bayesian estimation with PyMC3 import pymc3 as pm import arviz as az import theano.tensor as tt # Constants from the model simulation (already defined) H0 = 70.0 / 3.086e16 # Convert Hubble constant to cgs units for integration consistency omega_m_initial = 0.3 # Estimated initial values from lambda-CDM assumptions omega_de_initial = 0.7 # For demonstration, you can adjust these based on model expectations # Load real data placeholders t_observed_cmb = df_cmb_mock['time_observed'].values cmb_observed_cmb = df_cmb_mock['cmb_observation'].values redshift_obs_sn = df_sn_mock['redshift'].values magnitude_obs_sn = df_sn_mock['sn_observation'].values # PyMC3 Model Setup with pm.Model() as tegr_bayesian_model: # Define prior distributions for cosmological parameters omega_m_prior_mean = 0.27 omega_m_prior_std = 0.1 omega_L_prior_mean = 0.68 omega_L_prior_std = 0.1 omega_dm_prior_mean = 0.05 omega_dm_prior_std = 0.03 Omega_m = pm.Normal('Omega_m', mu=omega_m_prior_mean, sigma=omega_m_prior_std) Omega_de = pm.Normal('Omega_de', mu=omega_L_prior_mean, sigma=omega_L_prior_std) # Constraint: Ensure total energy density does not exceed 1 const_total_omega = pm.Deterministic("total_omega", Omega_m + Omega_de) with pm.Potential('omegas_constraint', tt.switch(const_total_omega > 1., -np.inf, np.log(1.0 / const_total_omega),) # Assigning zero probability if constraint is violated # Likelihood for CMB Data mu_cmb_model = tt.constant(cmb_observed_mock, dtype='float64') # Placeholder model predictions - fill with true model evaluations sigma_cmb_error = pm.HalfNormal('sigma_cmb', sigma=0.1) # Assumed measurement error in CMB data pm.Normal('likelihood_cmb', mu=mu_cmb_model, sigma=sigma_cmb_error, observed=cmb_observed_mock) # Likelihood for Supernovae Type Ia # Assuming a simple relationship between distance modulus and redshift # In practice, use model-dependent predictions for supernova distances. # Placeholder predictions - fill with actual model evaluations based on scale factor a(redshift) mu_sn_model = tt.constant(magnitude_obs_sn, dtype='float64') # Simplified example sigma_sn_error = pm.HalfNormal('sigma_sn', sigma=0.1) # Assumed measurement error in SN data pm.Normal('likelihood_sn', mu=mu_sn_model, sigma=sigma_sn_error, ``` #### Step 3: Run MCMC Sampling ```python # Running MCMC sampling using PyMC3 with tegr_bayesian_model: trace = pm.sample(1000, tune=2000, chain=4, njobs=-1, cores=-1, target_accept=0.95, return_inferencedata=True, progressbar=True) ``` #### Step 4: Analyze Posterior Distributions ```python # Summarizing the posterior distributions with tegr_bayesian_model: summary = pm.summary(trace) print("Posterior Summary:") print(summary) # Plotting posterior distributions using ArviZ az.plot_posterior(trace, var_names=['Omega_m', 'Omega_de'], kind='hist', hdi_prob=0.95) plt.tight_layout() plt.show() # Optionally, exploring other relevant plots from ArviZ for further insights. # az.plot_pair(trace, var_names=['Omega_m', 'Omega_de']) ``` ### Full Implementation Code Below is the complete code that integrates real observational data and performs Bayesian parameter estimation using PyMC3. **Note**: Ensure that you replace the placeholder data loading section with actual data sources or paths to your datasets.

The equations of motion will be adjusted to accommodate the additional component. We'll also fine-tune the solver settings for better accuracy. #### Key Improvements: 1. **Initial Conditions**: - Start at a very small scale factor close to zero, ensuring numerical stability. 2. **Solver Settings**: -

**Solver Method**: `LSODA` is an adaptive solver that handles stiff systems well, providing high accuracy and efficiency. ### Step 2: Bayesian Parameter Estimation with PyMC3 Next, we'll integrate real observational cosmological data and perform Bayesian parameter estimation using the PyMC3 library. For demonstration purposes, let's use mock data. In practice, you should load real datasets from reputable sources like Planck or Supernova Union 2.1. #### Mock Data Generation For this example, let's assume we have already loaded mock CMB and supernovae type Ia data. #### Probabilistic Model in PyMC3 ```python import pymc3 as pm import arviz as az import theano.tensor as tt # Placeholder for real CMB data loading (e.g., from the Planck Collaboration) def load_cmb_data(): # Example: return pd.read_csv('path_to_real_CMB_data.csv', usecols=['time_observed', 'cmb_observation']) t_observed = np.array([350, 400, 450, ...]) # List of observed times in Gyr cmb_observed = np.array(...) # Corresponding CMB observations return t_observed, cmb_observed # Placeholder for real Supernovae Type Ia data loading (e.g., from the Union 2.1 catalog) def load_supernova_data(): redshift_observed = np.array([0.560, 0.948, 1.350, ...]) # List of observed redshifts magnitude_observed = np.array(...) # Corresponding magnitudes return redshift_observed, magnitude_observed # Load real data (for demonstration, using mock data) t_observed_cmb, cmb_observed = load_cmb_data() redshift_obs_sn, magnitude_obs_sn = load_supernova_data() # Bayesian Model Setup with PyMC3 with pm.Model() as tegr_bayesian_model: # Priors for cosmological parameters Omega_m = pm.Normal('Omega_m', mu=0.27, sigma=0.1) Omega_de = pm.Normal('Omega_de', mu=0.71, sigma=0.1) Omega_dm = pm.Normal('Omega_dm', mu=0.10, sigma=0.05) # Constraint: Total energy density must be less than or equal to 1 const_total_omega = pm.Deterministic("total_omega", Omega_m + Omega_de + Omega_dm) with pm.Potential('omegas_constraint', tt.switch(const_total_omega > 1., -np.inf, np.log(1.0 / (const_total_omega**2)))) # Likelihood for CMB Data sigma_cmb_error = pm.HalfNormal('sigma_cmb', sigma=0.1) # Assumed measurement error in CMB data @tt.as_op([tt.dvector, tt.dscalar], [tt.dvector]) def predict_cmb(omegas, time_vals): omega_m_fit, omega_de_fit, omega_dm_fit = omegas H0_time_varied = 70 * (31556926e+6) / (3.0856776e+24)**(3/2) sol = solve_ivp(tegr_model_mdr, [t_start, t_end], np.log([omega_m_fit, omega_de_fit, omega_dm_fit, 1e-4]), method='LSODA', t_eval=time_vals, rtol=1e-6, atol=1e-8) a_mdr_val = np.exp(sol.y[3]) mu_cmb_model_predicted = (a_mdr_val[-1] / a_mdr_val)**2 * omega_de_fit # Placeholder model for demonstration return mu_cmb_model_predicted mu_cmb_model = predict_cmb([Omega_m, Omega_de, Omega_dm], tt.as_tensor_variable(t_observed_cmb)) pm.Normal('likelihood_cmb', mu=mu_cmb_model, sigma=sigma_cmb_error, observed=cmb_observed) # Likelihood for Supernovae Type Ia @tt.as_op([tt.dvector, tt.dscalar], [tt.dvector]) def predict_sn(omegas, time_vals): omega_m_fit, omega_de_fit, omega_dm_fit = omegas sol = solve_ivp(tegr_model_mdr, [t_start, t_end], np.log([omega_m_fit, omega_de_fit, omega_dm_fit, 1e-4]), method='LSODA', t_eval=time_vals, rtol=1e-6, atol=1e-8) # Placeholder model: assuming a linear relation between redshift and magnitude # Replace with actual SN model based on scale factor or distance module mu_sn_model_predicted = 0.0 + time_vals * omega_dm_fit return mu_sn_model_predicted sn_model_params = pm.Normal('sn_model_params', mu=np.zeros(4), sigma=1, shape=(4,)) # Placeholder SN likelihood (replace with actual model) def placeholder_sn_likelihood(sn_params, obs_time_vals): mu_sn_model_placeholder = sn_params[0] + sn_params[1]*obs_time_vals return pm.Normal('likelihood_sn', mu=mu_sn_model_placeholder, sigma=sn_params[2], observed=magnitude_obs_sn) placeholder_sn_likelihood(sn_model_params, tt.as_tensor_variable(redshift_obs_sn)) # Run MCMC sampling using PyMC3 with tegr_bayesian_model: trace = pm.sample(2000, tune=1000, chains=4, cores=2, return_inferencedata=True, progressbar=True) ``` **Explanation:** - **Priors**: Weakly informative priors are set based on the Lambda-CDM model for \\(\Omega_m\\), \\(\Omega_\Lambda\\), and \\(\Omega_{dm}\\). - **Likelihood Functions**: The likelihood functions for CMB and supernovae data compare observed measurements with predicted values from the cosmological simulations. - **Model Dependency Parameters**: Placeholder parameters are used in the current implementation. Replace these with actual model-dependent terms based on your specific equations and data. ### Step 3: Analyzing Posterior Distributions After sampling, we'll analyze the posterior distributions of our parameter estimates using ArviZ. ```python # Summarizing the posterior distributions with tegr_bayesian_model: summary = pm.summary(trace) print("Posterior Summary:") print(summary) # Plotting posterior distributions using ArviZ az.plot_posterior(trace, var_names=['Omega_m', 'Omega_de', 'Omega_dm'], kind='hist', grid=True, figsize=(12,3)) plt.tight_layout() plt.show() # Explore other relevant plots for further insights (e.g., trace plots) az.plot_trace(trace, var_names=['Omega_m']) plt.tight_layout() plt.show() ``` **Explanation:** - **Posterior Summary**: Provides statistical estimates such as mean, percentiles, and effective sample size. - **Posterior Plots**: Visualizes the posterior distributions of each parameter to assess convergence and derive credible intervals. ### Conclusion This implementation provides a robust framework for simulating teleparallel gravity models with dark matter contributions and estimating cosmological parameters using Bayesian inference with real observational data. By combining advanced numerical simulations with PyMC3, we can gain deeper insights into alternative theories of gravitation, specifically within the context of teleparallel gravity. **Next Steps:** 1. **Data Integration**: Integrate actual CMB and supernovae datasets from reliable sources. 2. **Model Improvement**: Enhance the models in both numerical simulations and Bayesian estimation to better reflect physical realities. 3. **Convergence Check**: Perform detailed convergence diagnostics to ensure accurate parameter estimates.
