A repository for a cosmology tool dark_emulator to emulate halo clustering statistics. The code is developed based on Dark Quest simulation suite (https://darkquestcosmology.github.io/). The current version supports the halo mass function and two point correlation function (both halo-halo and halo-matter cross).
In order to install dark emulator package, use pip:
pip install dark_emulator
or use conda:
conda install -c nishimichi dark_emulator
If the above does not work for you, you may download the source files from this repository and install via
python -m pip install -e .
after moving to the top directory of the source tree.
In that case, you need to install george (a software package for the Gaussian process) and colossus
conda install -c conda-forge george
pip install colossus
From version 1.1.0, dark_emulator uses FFTLog implementation by Fang et al (2019); arXiv:1911.11947.
You can then check how Dark Emulator works by running a tutorial notebook at
