Abstract: In the EFT of biased tracers the noise field $varepsilo{n}_g$ is not exactly uncorrelated with the nonlinear matter field $delta$. Its correlation with $delta$ is effectively captured by adding stochasticities to each bias coefficient. We show that if these stochastic fields are Gaussian (the impact of their non-Gaussianity being subleading on quasi-linear scales anyway) it is possible to resum exactly their effect on the conditional likelihood $calP[delt{a}_g|delta]$ to observe a galaxy field $delt{a}_g$ given an underlying $delta$. This resummation allows to take them into account in EFT-based approaches to Bayesian forward modeling. We stress that the resulting corrections to a purely Gaussian conditional likelihood with white-noise covariance are the most relevant on scales where the EFT is under control: they are more important than any non-Gaussianity of the noise $varepsilo{n}_g$.
