[QUOTE="kimbyd, post: 6097489, member: 622120"] Typically, yes. One of a variety of software packages are used to compute the power spectrum given the set of cosmological parameters (many are listed [url=https://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/toolbox/]here[/url] under the "CMB Tools" sub-header, confusingly the same as the header). Then, some form of Monte Carlo chain is used to determine the probability distribution given a likelihood function (which stems from one or more experiments). Both Planck and WMAP supply software which can be used to calculate the likelihood that a given power spectrum matches their CMB data. [/QUOTE]
