ANALYSIS:
Predictive test
Predict H0 using pre-recombination (rs-independent) observations, then compare with direct estimations.
A particular model can be disfavored if the recovered rs-independent value of H0 is in tension with the direct measurement of H0.
Internal consistency test
Compare H0 constraints with (previous case) and without rs-marginalization
This test could be used as an indicator of evidence for of against a given model but still inconclusive with current data.
How does the w/o rs-marg work?
