Measured SMICA map analysis¶

Matched finite-band map estimators under an ideal Gaussian CMB-only null; not Planck end-to-end likelihood significances.

Twelve-column family calibration: 0.03100. This covers these variants, not historical statistic selection.

The hemisphere statistic includes the complete finite direction search on every realization. The pseudo-parity statistic is a mask-dependent diagnostic, not a full-sky power estimate.
