Main Routines (projected space)

These are the main routines for counting pairs and estimating correlation functions. They encapsulate all required steps to provide a true end-user experience : you only need to provide data+parameters to receive final results, and perhaps that amazing plot of your next paper

gundam.pcf(tab, tab1, par, nthreads=-1, write=True, plot=False, **kwargs)

Given two astropy tables corresponding to data and random samples, calculate the two-point projected auto-correlation function (pcf)

Auxiliary Routines

These are helper routines that make it easy to work with correlations, visualize count data, optimize grid size, sort data, etc. For examples of how to use them check their individual help, or even better, the source code of gundam.pcf()

gundam.bestSKgrid2d(par, npts, ras, dens=None)

Try to find the optimum size (mxh1,mxh2) of a 2D skip grid, for an arbitrary sample of (ra,dec) points.

This is far from trivial, so for the moment, this routine works as follows:

  1. Choose an “optimum” target cell density (around 22 ppcell in many tests)
  2. Find the best mxh1 from an empirical best fit relation of npts vs mxh1
  3. Adjust mxh2 to reach the target cell density

Parameters

par : Munch dictionary
Input parameters dictionary
npts : integer or list of integers
Nr. of objects in the sample(s). For cross-correlations it should be a list of the form [sample_D_size, sample_R,size] and the effective npts adopted is their sum
ras : float array or list of arrays
Right ascention of objects in the samples(s). For cross-correlations, the two samples are concatenated
dens : float. Default=None
Target cell density. Note that dens=None implicates a default value of 22 if npts>50000 and 16 otherwise.

Returns

mxh1, mxh2 : integer
Nr. of DEC and RA cells of the SK table, respectively
dens : float
The effective cell density adopted
gundam.bestSKgrid3d(par, npts, ras, dens=None)

Try to find the optimum size (mxh1,mxh2,mxh3) of a 3D skip grid, for an arbitrary sample of (ra,dec,dcom) points.

This is far from trivial, so for the moment, this routine works as follows:

  1. Choose an “optimum” target cell density according to the type of correlation
  2. Choose the best mxh3 as mxh3=int((dcmax-dcmin)/rvmax)
  3. Find the best mxh1 from an empirical best fit relation of npts vs mxh1
  4. Adjust mxh2 to reach the target cell density

Parameters

par : Munch dictionary
Input parameters dictionary
npts : integer or list of integers
Nr. of objects in the sample(s). For cross-correlations it should be a list of the form [sample_D_size, sample_R,size] and the effective npts adopted is their sum
ras : float array or list of arrays
Right ascention of objects in the samples(s). For cross-correlations, the two samples are joined together
dens : float. Default=None
Target cell density. Note that dens=None implicates different default values. See function code.

Returns

mxh1, mxh2, mxh3 : integer
Nr. of DEC, RA, DCOM cells of the SK table, respectively
dens : float
The effective cell density adopted
gundam.cfindex(path='./')

List file_name + description of all count (.cnt) files in a given path. Useful to quickly check a dir with dozens of correlation function runs and therefore hundreds of files.

Parameters

path : string
Path to list descriptions of .cnt files inside
gundam.cnttable(cfi, fmt1=None, fmt2=None, write=False, browser=True)

Shows a nicely formatted tabular view of the count data stored in a counts output dictionary. The table is printed in stdout and optionally displayed in the default web browser.

Parameters

cfi : string or Munch dictionary
Filepath for the counts (.cnt) file, or the counts dictionary itself
fmt1 : string
Ouput format of numeric fields (bins, correlations and errors). Default=’.4f’
fmt2 : string
Ouput format of numeric fields (counts). Default=’.2f’
write : bool
If write=True, save table to disk. Filename will be asked for. Default=False
browser : bool
If browser=True, display HTML table in browser. Default=True

Returns

tab : astropy table
Single table with all relevant counts as columns. Use print(tab) or tab.show_in_browser()

Examples

# show info for a projected correlation from file on disk
cnttable('/proj/galred.cnt')
# show info a from variable in the session's memory
cnttable(galred)
gundam.makebins(nsep, sepmin, dsep, logsep)

Create arrays of bins in which Gundam will count pairs and estimate correlation functions, given the number of bins desired, the minimum bin value and the chosen bin width.

Note units are not needed, but should be interpreted according to the input parameters

Parameters

nsep : integer
Number of bins
sepmin : float
Minimum bin location
dsep : float
Bin width (dex if logsep=1)
logsep : bool
If True, do log-space binning. If False, do linear-space binning

Returns

sep : float array
Bin locations used by Gundam (left-side + extra bin at right limit)
sepout : float array
Left, middle and right-side points of each bin. Useful to plot more easily

Examples

# Create 18 log bins of size=0.2 dex in redshift and projected space
seps,sepsout = makebins(18,0.01,0.2,1)
sepp,seppout = makebins(18,0.01,0.2,1)
# Create 25 bins of size 2 Mpc in radial space, from 0 to 50 Mpc
sepv = makebins(25,0.,2.,0)[0]
# Create instead 1 bin of size 50 Mpc, e.g. to work out the pcf integrated from 0 to 50 Mpc
sepv = makebins(1,0.,50.,0)[0]
gundam.pixsort(tab, colnms, par)

Arrange an astropy table with (ra,dec) or (ra,dec,z) data into a grid of SK pixels and sort the rows of the table according to the pixel index, ordered by a given methodology. This way data in a given pixel sits closer in memory, largely increasing the efficiency of the cache.

Several (experimental) orders such as Morton and Hilbert are available

Parameters

tab: astropy table
Data table with ra/dec or ra/dec/z points
colnms: list of strings
Colum names for coordinates and redshift, e.g. [‘ra’,’dec’,’z’], [‘RAJ2000’,’DEJ2000’,’redshift’]
par: Munch dictionary
Input parameters dictionary. Must contain mxh1, mxh2, mxh3 (when appropiate), the survey boundaries sbound and the desired method for ordering pxorder. For samples that cross the RA=0 limit, it can is useful to specify a custom RA boundary. See Custom RA boundaries

Returns

sidx : array
Sort index. Use tab=tab[sidx] to actually sort the data
gundam.qprint(self)

Prints a quick, nicely formatted version of Munch dictionaries, such as the counts ouput dictionary or the par input dictionary used by Gundam routines. Very useful to quickly explore what is stored inside.

This routine is added dynamically to the Munch class, so it can be accessed as any_munch_obj.qprint()

Note counts output dictionaries can also be explored using gundam.cnttable() to display a more elaborated tabular view of (exclusively) the counts calculated.

Examples

import gundam as gun

# Explore the many arrays and counts of a typical run
cred = gun.readcounts('redgalaxies.cnt')
cred.qprint()

# Check the parameters used to create the run
cred.par.qprint()
gundam.radec2xyz(ra, dec, r=0.5)

Converts a (ra,dec) coordinates to rectangular (x,y,z) coordinates in a sphere of radius r.

For r=0.5, this allows to speed up subsecuent haversine distance calculations between two points, by simply computing \(dhav^2 = (x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2 + (z1-z2)^2\)

Parameters

ra,dec : float arrays
Right ascention an declination coordinates
r : float. Default=0.5
Sphere radius

Returns

(x,y,z) : tuple
Rectangular coordinates
gundam.tpcf(npt, nrpt, dd, bdd, rr, dr, estimator)

Return the (auto)correlation function for a given estimator and arrays of data and random counts

If DR counts are not needed (e.g. the ‘NAT’ estimator), just set dr=0

If boostrap errors are not needed or available, just set bdd to a zero-valued array with null 2nd dimension, e.g. bdd=np.zeros([len(dd),0])

Parameters

npt,nrpt : integer
Number of data and random particles
dd : float array
DD counts
bdd : float array
Bootstrap DD counts
rr : float array
RR counts in projected and radial separations
dr : float array
DR counts in projected and radial separations
estimator : string

Statistical estimator of the correlation function. Default=`NAT`

  • ‘NAT’ : Natural -> \(DD/RR - 1\)
  • ‘HAM’ : Hamilton -> \(DD*RR/DR^{2} - 1\)
  • ‘LS’ : Landy-Szalay -> \((DD - 2DR + RR) / RR\)
  • ‘DP’ : Davis-Peebles -> \(DD/DR - 1\)

Returns

xi : float array
Correlation function
xierr : float array
Boostrap error estimate. Set to zero if bdd is nulled as explained above

Notes

See this paper for a nice review on estimators and their normalization factors. Here, the normalization factors are derived to : (1) keep estimator formulae clean, (2) avoid having operations such as (npt*(npt-1)) * dd, where counts are multiplied/divided by very big numbers when npt is large.

cnt1 = gun.readcounts('/p01/redgalsP.cnt')
cntplot(cnt1)
# Plot the correlation function from a .cnt file
cntplot('/p01/redgalsA.cnt', label='angcf of redgals', fill=True)

write : bool. Default=False
Save the figure to disk (default format is pdf). See Notes to save in other graphic formats

Colormap for the plot
kwargs : keyword list
Any extra [key]=value pairs are passed to matplolib.pyplot.pcolor() Use this to customize shading, edges, alpha, etc.

Examples

# Check some nice Fingers of God and the Kaiser squashing
cntplot2D('lum_red_gals.cnt', cmap='viridis')

gundam.writeasc_counts(lb, mb, rb, c, par, fmt='%17.5f', cntid=None, altname=None)

Write an ASCII file for a (1-dimensional) counts array produced by the code.

The columns in the output will be [lb mb rb c] where the first 3 are the left, mid and right-side of bins and c are the counts

Parameters

lb,mb,rb : float
Left, mid and rigth-side of bins
c : float array
Counts array. Usually this is one of the fields cnt.dd, cnt.dr, cnt.rr, etc. of a correlation run
par : Munch dictionary
Used to pass par.outfn to name the output file
fmt : string. Default=’%17.5f’
Numeric formatting string
cntid : string. Default=None
ID string for column header. Usually can be ‘dd’, ‘rr’, ‘dr’, etc. Also appended as the extension of the ouput file (when altname=None)
altname : string. Default=None
If supplied, use an alternative file name instead of par.outfn + .cntid

Examples

import gundam as gun
c1 = gun.readcounts('bluegals.cnt')

# Write the DD counts in angular dimensions. Use an alternative file name
gun.writeasc_counts(c1.thl, c1.thm, c1.thr, c1.dd, c1.par, cntid='dd', altname='akounts')

# Inspect the output file
with open('akounts', 'r') as f:
    print(f.read(), end="")

Fortran Wrapper Routines

These are the wrappers that call Fortran pair counting routines. They are intended to: (1) choose the fastest counting routine depending whether weights, bootstrap errors, etc. are requested or not; and (2): concentrate all mayor Fortran calling in one place

Unless you are building your own custom script, heavily modifying, or extending the core algorithms, you normally should not need to use these functions

gundam.pairs_auto(par, wunit, logff, tab, x, y, z, sk, ll, dc=None)

Wrapper for calling Fortran counting routines (for auto-pairs)

This function isolates the call of external Fortran routines, choosing the correct one based on geometry, and choosing the fastest depending whether, weights, bootstrap errors, etc. are requested or not.

Parameters

par : Munch dictionary
Input parameters
wunit : bool
  • True : all weights are equal to 1
  • False : at least one weight is not 1
logff : string
File for logging the output of Fortran routines
tab : astropy table
Table with data particles
x,y,z : arrays
Rectangular coordinates of data particles
sk,ll : arrays
Skip table (SK) and linked list table (see gundam.skll2d() or gundam.skll3d())
dc : array [optional]
Array of comoving distances. Not needed for angular counts

Returns

tt : list of ndarray
Ouput counts as returned by Fortran counting routines
gundam.pairs_cross(par, wunit, logff, tab, x, y, z, tab1, x1, y1, z1, sk1, ll1, dc=None, dc1=None)

Wrapper for calling Fortran counting routines (for cross-pairs among two tables called D(data) and Random(R))

This function isolates the call of external Fortran routines, choosing the correct one based on geometry, and choosing the fastest depending whether, weights, bootstrap errors, etc. are requested or not.

Parameters

par : Munch dictionary
Input parameters
wunit : bool
  • True : all weights are equal to 1
  • False : at least one weight is not 1
logff : string
File for logging the output of Fortran routines
tab,tab1 : astropy tables
Table with data particles (D) and random particles (R), respectively
x,y,z,x1,y1,z1 : arrays
Rectangular coordinates of particles in D table and R rable, respectively
tab1 : astropy table
Table with data particles (D)
sk1,ll1 : arrays
Skip table (SK) and linked list table (see gundam.skll2d() or gundam.skll3d())
dc,dc1 : arrays [optional]
Array of comoving distances of particles in D and R tables. Not needed for angular counts

Returns

tt : list of ndarray
Ouput counts as returned by Fortran counting routines
