This module is adapted from boss_dr12.py module in boss_dr12, to read the boss dr12 likelihood data as released by eBOSS DR 16. The data files are from the BAO-only and BAO-plus (which the recomended one) directories. One notable difference is that the txt files only contain boss dr12 measurements for the two lowest redshift bins. This module gives a likelihood of the comoving angular diameter distance D_m, the Hubble parameter H(z) and f*sigma_8. It uses the sound horizon at last-scatter rs_zdrag. A correlated Gaussian likelihood is then returned.
