NNGCorrelation: Count-count-shear correlations

class treecorr.NNGCorrelation(config=None, *, logger=None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: Corr3

This class handles the calculation and storage of a 3-point count-count-scalar correlation function, where as usual G represents any spin-0 scalar field.

With this class, point 3 of the triangle (i.e. the vertex opposite d3) is the one with the scalar value. Use GNNCorrelation and NGNCorrelation for classes with the scalar in the other two positions.

See the doc string of Corr3 for a description of how the triangles are binned along with the attributes related to the different binning options.

In addition to the attributes common to all Corr3 subclasses, objects of this class hold the following attributes:

Attributes:
  • zeta – The correlation function, \(\zeta\).

  • varzeta – The variance estimate, only including the shot noise propagated into the final correlation.

The typical usage pattern is as follows:

>>> nng = treecorr.NNGCorrelation(config)
>>> nng.process(cat1, cat2)        # Compute cross-correlation of two fields.
>>> nng.process(cat1, cat2, cat3)  # Compute cross-correlation of three fields.
>>> rrg.process(rand, cat2)        # Compute cross-correlation with randoms.
>>> drg.process(cat1, rand, cat2)  # Compute cross-correlation with randoms and data
>>> nng.write(file_name)           # Write out to a file.
>>> nng.calculateZeta(rrg=rrg, drg=drg) # Calculate zeta using randoms
>>> zeta = nng.zeta                # Access correlation function
>>> zetar = nng.zetar              # Or access real and imaginary parts separately
>>> zetai = nng.zetai
Parameters:
  • config (dict) – A configuration dict that can be used to pass in kwargs if desired. This dict is allowed to have addition entries besides those listed in Corr3, which are ignored here. (default: None)

  • logger – If desired, a logger object for logging. (default: None, in which case one will be built according to the config dict’s verbose level.)

Keyword Arguments:

**kwargs – See the documentation for Corr3 for the list of allowed keyword arguments, which may be passed either directly or in the config dict.

__init__(config=None, *, logger=None, **kwargs)[source]
calculateZeta(*, rrg=None, drg=None, rdg=None)[source]

Calculate the correlation function given another correlation function of random points using the same mask, and possibly cross correlations of the data and random.

The rrg value is the NNGCorrelation function for random points with the scalar field. One can also provide a cross correlation of the count data with randoms and the scalar.

  • If rrg is None, the simple correlation function (self.zeta) is returned.

  • If only rrg is given the compensated value \(\zeta = DDG - RRG\) is returned.

  • if drg is given and rdg is None (or vice versa), then \(\zeta = DDG - 2DRG + RRG\) is returned.

  • If drg and rdg are both given, then \(\zeta = DDG - DRG - RDG + RRG\) is returned.

where DDG is the data NNG correlation function, which is the current object.

After calling this method, you can use the Corr2.estimate_cov method or use this correlation object in the estimate_multi_cov function. Also, the calculated zeta and varzeta returned from this function will be available as attributes.

Parameters:
  • rrg (NNGCorrelation) – The correlation of the random points with the scalar field (RRG) (default: None)

  • drg (NNGCorrelation) – The cross-correlation of the data with both randoms and the scalar field (DRG), if desired. (default: None)

  • rdg (NNGCorrelation) – The cross-correlation of the randoms with both the data and the scalar field (RDG), if desired. (default: None)

Returns:

  • zeta = array of \(\zeta(r)\)

  • varzeta = an estimate of the variance of \(\zeta(r)\)
