Testing Late Time Cosmic Acceleration with uncorrelated Baryon Acoustic
  Oscillations dataset
  Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) involve measuring the spatial distribution
of galaxies to determine the growth rate of cosmic structure. We derive
constraints on cosmological parameters from $17$ uncorrelated BAO measurements
that were collected from $333$ published data points in the effective redshift
range $0.106 \leq z \leq 2.36$. We test the correlation of the subset using
random covariance matrix. The $\Lambda$CDM model fit yields the cosmological
parameters: $\Omega_m = 0.261 \pm 0.028$ and $\Omega_\Lambda = 0.733 \pm
0.021$. Combining the BAO data with the Cosmic Chronometers data, the Pantheon
Type Ia supernova and the Hubble Diagram of Gamma Ray Bursts and Quasars, the
Hubble constant yields $ 69.85 \pm 1.27 km/sec/Mpc$ and the sound horizon
distance gives: $ 146.1 \pm 2.15 Mpc$. Beyond the $\Lambda$CDM model we test
$\Omega_K$CDM and wCDM. The spatial curvature is $\Omega_k = -0.076 \pm 0.012$
and the dark energy equation of states: $w = -0.989 \pm 0.049$. {We perform AIC
test to compare the 3 models and see that $\Lambda$CDM scores best.
