Full-sky cubic bispectrum estimator
ID: full-sky-cubic-bispectrum-estimator
For an isotropic, full-sky temperature map with a fixed bispectrum template , the inverse-variance-weighted cubic statistic has normalization over ordered triples. It is unbiased under the linear template relation and has Gaussian cosmic variance . The factor counts the six cross-triple Wick contractions. A removed monopole cancels the nine internal-pairing terms; incomplete sky coverage or anisotropic noise generally require a linear correction.
