Software for Shape Measurement Fisher Formalism Studies

Software to study Fisher Formalism predictions on galaxy weak lensing for LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration.

This software can predictions for one or two galaxies simulated from galsim.

This software (tagged v1.0.1) was used to produce the figures in the upcoming paper titled "Effects of Overlapping Sources on Cosmic Shear Estimation: Statistical Sensitivity and Pixel-Noise Bias", information about this project can be found in the confluence page here. The figures for this paper produced using the software can be found in notebooks/Paper-plots.ipynb

This work was conducted by Ismael Mendoza, in collaboration with Pat Burchat and Josh Meyers, at Stanford University in 2015-2017. Work was supported by the National Science Foundation and by LSST.
