This module calculates the likelihood using the CMASS only results from 
Chuang et al. 2013 for fsigma8(z=0.57), H(z=0.57), D_a(z=0.57), omegamh2, bsigma8(z=0.57).
There are two modes: mode=0 give the fsigma8(z=0.57) likelihood only; mode=1 give the more general BOSS likelihood.


Assumptions
-----------

 - SDSS-III CMASS DR9 dataset
 - When using mode = 1 CAMB must be run to output distance parameters and sigma8
 - The transfer function must be scale-independent to use this simple formulation: no MG, massive nu, for example.
