This link isn't working for me, I'm getting a privacy error, is there another way to link the discussion?
I thought this would be a public link, I guess not? Anyway, I copy paste here the answer from Antony:
You can more directly use https://camb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/results.html?highlight=get_fsigma8#camb.results.CAMBdata.get_fsigma8
(the other doc string should say "growth parameter f*sigma_8"). By default it is using config.transfer_power_var (defaults to baryons+CDM+neutrinos) and the CDM velocity. More generally you can use https://camb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/results.html?highlight=get_sigmaR#camb.results.CAMBdata.get_sigmaR with whatever variables you like.
However, in general it may be best to try to calculate the actual physical quantity being measured rather some rather ill-defined growth parameter.
For mode evolution you can use https://camb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/results.html?highlight=get_redshift_evolution#camb.results.CAMBdata.get_redshift_evolution or use the general matter power spectrum at specific requested redshifts https://camb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/results.html?highlight=get_redshift_evolution#camb.results.CAMBdata.get_linear_matter_power_spectrum
Pablo sent us this snippet from the CAMB documentation:
However, I have a comment and a question:
f = transfer.sigma2_vdelta_8 / s8**2
, right? The documentation in CAMB is also incorrect.We should track this down, probably email Anthony Lewis.
