Advanced statistical methods for detecting the Epoch of Reionisation

This thesis investigates the widefield foreground contamination on the expected 21cm power spectrum, by modelling these sources with multi-component 2D Gaussians. Additionally, we calculate the skew spectrum for a set of seven cosmological 21cm simulations, characterising how the higher order statis...
