pyrecon - Python reconstruction code

Introduction

pyrecon is a package to perform reconstruction within Python, using different algorithms, so far:

With Python, a typical reconstruction run is (e.g. for MultiGridReconstruction; the same works for other algorithms):

from pyrecon import MultiGridReconstruction

# line-of-sight "los" can be local (None, default) or an axis, 'x', 'y', 'z', or a 3-vector
# Instead of boxsize and boxcenter, one can provide a (N, 3) array of Cartesian positions: positions=
recon = MultiGridReconstruction(f=0.8, bias=2.0, los=None, nmesh=512, boxsize=1000., boxcenter=2000.)
recon.assign_data(positions_data, weights_data) # positions_data is a (N, 3) array of Cartesian positions, weights a (N,) array
# You can skip the following line if you assume uniform selection function (randoms)
recon.assign_randoms(positions_randoms, weights_randoms)
recon.set_density_contrast(smoothing_radius=15.)
recon.run()
# If you are using IterativeFFTParticleReconstruction, displacements are to be taken at the reconstructed data real-space positions;
# in this case, do: positions_rec_data = recon.read_shifted_positions('data')
positions_rec_data = recon.read_shifted_positions(positions_data)
# RecSym = remove large scale RSD from randoms
positions_rec_randoms = recon.read_shifted_positions(positions_randoms)
# or RecIso
# positions_rec_randoms = recon.read_shifted_positions(positions_randoms, field='disp')

Also provided a script to run reconstruction as a standalone:

pyrecon [-h] config-fn [--data-fn [<fits, hdf5 file>]] [--randoms-fn [<fits, hdf5 file>]] [--output-data-fn [<fits, hdf5 file>]] [--output-randoms-fn [<fits, hdf5file>]]

An example of configuration file is provided in config. data-fn, randoms-fn are input data and random file names to override those in configuration file. The same holds for output files output-data-fn, output-randoms-fn.

In progress

Check algorithm details (see notes in docstrings).

Documentation

Documentation is hosted on Read the Docs, pyrecon docs.

Requirements

Only strict requirement is:

  • numpy

Extra requirements are:

  • pyfftw (for faster FFTs)
  • fitsio, h5py, astropy to run pyrecon as a standalone
  • pypower to evaluate reconstruction metrics (correlation, transfer function and propagator)

Installation

See pyrecon docs.
