41. For WMAP, the published likelihood function was used. For the other experiments BJK formalism was used, with the BJK parameters obtained from either RADPACK, or the collaborations directly.
42. The strong prior h = 0.74+0.11-0.094 is an asymmetric Gaussian with plus and minus sigmas as given, and represents the constraint coming from the Hubble key project [28].
43. For D> 1 we use the word variance to mean covariance matrix.
44. For this value we concatenated 5 chains into 1, thus transforming 20 chains per set to 4.
