The full WMAP likelihood is slow and requires a full Boltzmann integration (also slow) to get the CMB spectra.
This module uses a lightweight alternative - the CMB shift parameter, which can be calculated from background evolution alone.
This does not provide as much information as the full likelihood.
Assumptions
CMB shift parameter as in LCDM
WMAP9 measurement of parameter
