Abstract

This paper gives a summary of our rigorous, non-perturbative, Bayesian framework which enables one jointly to test Gaussianity and estimate the power spectrum of CMB anisotropies. A detailed and thorough presentation of this new technique has been given in Rocha et al. 2000. There we apply our method to Very Small Array (VSA) simulations based on signal Gaussianity, showing that out algorithm is indeed not biased.
