TL;DR: In this article, the results and analysis of the tests on the LFI flight model (FM) performed at Thales Laboratories in Milan (Italy) during 2006, with the purpose of experimentally sampling the thermal transfer functions and consequently validating the numerical thermal model describing the dynamic response of the focal plane.

TL;DR: An analytical model is developed that is able to extract most of the relevant information on the processing errors and the compression rate as a function of the signal statistics and the processing parameters to be tuned, and will be of interest for the instrument data analysis to asses the level of signal distortion introduced in the data by the on-board processing.

TL;DR: The proposed validation and verification procedure, where the on-board and ground processing are viewed as a single pipeline, demonstrated that the scientific and housekeeping processing of the Planck-LFI raw data is correct and meets the project requirements.

TL;DR: The computational infrastructure for end-to-end Bayesian CMB analysis implemented by the BeyondPlanck collaboration is described, and the existing code base is provided, called Commander3, and provides a statistically consistent framework for global analysis of CMB and microwave observations.
