We explore methods for robust estimation of the 21 cm signal from the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR). A Kernel Density Estimator (KDE) is introduced for measuring the spatial temperature fluctuation power spectrum from the EoR. The KDE…

We have used semi-numerical simulations of reionization to study the behaviour of the power spectrum of the EoR 21-cm signal in redshift space. We have considered two models of reionization, one which has homogeneous recombination (HR) and…
