Likelihood contours of CDM models as a function of Ωmh2 and DV(0.35). The likelihood has been taken to be proportional to ﹩\mathrm{exp}\,( -\chi ^{2}/ 2) ﹩, and contours corresponding to 1 through 5 σ for a two‐dimensional Gaussian have been plotted. The one‐dimensional marginalized values are ﹩\Omega _{m}h^{2}=0.130\pm 0.010﹩ and ﹩D_{V}( 0.35) =1370\pm 64﹩ Mpc. We overplot lines depicting the two major degeneracy directions. The red line is a line of constant Ωmh2DV(0.35), which would be the degeneracy direction for a pure CDM model. The magenta line is a line of constant sound horizon, holding ﹩\Omega _{b}h^{2}=0.024﹩. The contours clearly deviate from the pure CDM degeneracy, implying that the peak at 100 h−1 Mpc is constraining the fits.
