On marginals and profiled posteriors for cosmological parameter estimation
With several examples and in an analysis of the Pantheon+ supernova sample we
discuss the properties of the marginal posterior distribution versus the
profiled posterior distribution -- the profile likelihood in a Bayesian
disguise. We investigate whether maximisation, as used for the profiling, or
integration, as used for the marginalisation, is more appropriate. To report
results we recommend the marginal posterior distribution.
