Bases: Analysis

This is the abstract base class for all log-likelihood ratio analysis classes. It requires a mathematical log-likelihood ratio function.

Construct the log-likelihood ratio function via the construct_llhratio() method.

Initialize a trial via the initialize_trial() method.

Fit the global fit parameters to the trial data via the maximize() method of the llhratio property.

skyllh.core.detsigyield module

class skyllh.core.detsigyield.DetSigYield(param_names, dataset, fluxmodel, livetime, **kwargs)

Bases: object

This is the abstract base class for a detector signal yield.

The detector signal yield, Y_s(p_s), is defined as the expected mean number of signal events detected by the detector from a given source with source parameters p_s.

To construct a detector signal yield object, four ingredients are needed: the dataset holding the monte-carlo data events, a signal flux model, the livetime, and a builder instance that knows how to construct the actual detector yield in an efficient way. In general, the implementation method depends on the detector, the source, the flux model with its flux model’s signal parameters, and the dataset. Hence, for a given detector, source, flux model, and dataset, an appropriate implementation method needs to be chosen.

Constructs a new detector signal yield object. It takes the monte-carlo data events, a flux model of the signal, and the live time to compute the detector signal yield.

Parameters:

param_names (sequence of str) – The sequence of parameter names this detector signal yield depends on. These are either fixed or floating parameters.
dataset (Dataset instance) – The Dataset instance holding the monte-carlo event data.
fluxmodel (FluxModel) – The flux model instance. Must be an instance of FluxModel.
livetime (float | Livetime) – The live-time in days to use for the detector signal yield.

property param_names: The tuple of parameter names this detector signal yield instance is a function of.

property dataset: The Dataset instance, for which this detector signal yield is made for.

property fluxmodel: The flux model, which should be used to calculate the detector signal yield.

property livetime: The live-time in days.

abstract sources_to_recarray(sources)

This method is supposed to convert a (list of) source model(s) into a numpy record array that is understood by the detector signal yield class. This is for efficiency reasons only. This way the user code can pre-convert the list of sources into a numpy record array and cache the array. The fields of the array are detector signal yield implementation dependent, i.e. what kind of sources: point-like source, or extended source for instance. Because the sources usually don’t change their position in the sky, this has to be done only once.

Parameters:: sources (SourceModel | sequence of SourceModel) – The source model(s) containing the information of the source(s).
Returns:: recarr (numpy record ndarray) – The generated (N_sources,)-shaped 1D numpy record ndarray holding the information for each source.

abstract __call__(src_recarray, src_params_recarray)

Abstract method to retrieve the detector signal yield for the given sources and source parameter values.

Parameters:

src_recarray ((N_sources,)-shaped numpy record ndarray) – The numpy record array containing the information of the sources. The required fields of this record array are implementation dependent. In the most generic case for a point-like source, it must contain the following three fields: ra, dec.
src_params_recarray ((N_sources,)-shaped numpy record ndarray) – The numpy record ndarray containing the parameter values of the sources. The parameter values can be different for the different sources. The record array must contain two fields for each source parameter, one named <name> with the source’s local parameter name holding the source’s local parameter value, and one named <name:gpidx> holding the global parameter index plus one for each source value. For values mapping to non-fit parameters, the index should be negative.

Returns:

detsigyield ((N_sources,)-shaped 1D ndarray of float) – The array with the mean number of signal in the detector for each given source.
grads (dict) – The dictionary holding the gradient values for each global fit parameter. The key is the global fit parameter index and the value is the (N_sources,)-shaped numpy ndarray holding the gradient value dY_k/dp_s.

This is an abstract base class for implementing a method to interpolate a manifold that is defined on a grid of parameter values.

Parameters:

This is a signal generator class, which handles multiple datasets with monte-carlo (MC). It uses the MC events of all datasets to determine the possible signal events for a source. It does not depend on the detector or source hypothesis, because these dependencies are factored out into the signal generation method. In fact the construction within this class depends on the construction of the signal generation method.

Constructs a new signal generator instance.

shg_mgr (instance of SourceHypoGroupManager) – The SourceHypoGroupManager instance defining the source hypothesis groups.
dataset_list (list of Dataset instances) – The list of Dataset instances for which signal events should get generated for.
data_list (list of DatasetData instances) – The list of DatasetData instances holding the actual data of each dataset. The order must match the order of dataset_list.

skyllh.core.trialdata module

The trialdata module of SkyLLH provides a trial data manager class that manages the data of an analysis trial. It provides also possible additional data fields and their calculation, which are required by the particular analysis. The rational behind this manager is to compute data fields only once, which can then be used by different analysis objects, like PDF objects.

class skyllh.core.trialdata.DataField(name, func, global_fitparam_names=None, dt=None, is_src_field=False, is_srcevt_data=False, **kwargs)

Bases: object

This class defines a data field and its calculation that is used by an Analysis class instance. The calculation is defined through an external function.

Creates a new instance of DataField that might depend on fit parameters.

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the data field. It serves as the identifier for the data field.
func (callable) –
The function that calculates the values of this data field. The call signature must be

__call__(tdm, shg_mgr, pmm, global_fitparams_dict=None)

where tdm is the instance of TrialDataManager holding the trial event data, shg_mgr is the instance of SourceHypoGroupManager, pmm is the instance of ParameterModelMapper, and global_fitparams_dict is the dictionary with the current global fit parameter names and values.
global_fitparam_names (str | sequence of str | None) – The sequence of str instances specifying the names of the global fit parameters this data field depends on. If set to None, the data field does not depend on any fit parameters.
dt (numpy dtype | str | None) – If specified it defines the data type this data field should have. If a str instance is given, it defines the name of the data field whose data type should be taken for this data field.
is_src_field (bool) – Flag if this data field is a source data field (True) and values should be stored within this DataField instance, instead of the events DataFieldRecordArray instance of the TrialDataManager (False).
is_srcevt_data (bool) – Flag if the data field will hold source-event data, i.e. data of length N_values. In that case the data cannot be stored within the events attribute of the TrialDataManager, but must be stored in the values attribute of this DataField instance.

class skyllh.core.trialdata.TrialDataManager(index_field_name=None, **kwargs)

Bases: object

The TrialDataManager class manages the event data for an analysis trial. It provides possible additional data fields and their calculation. New data fields can be defined via the add_data_field() method. Whenever a new trial is being initialized the data fields get re-calculated. The data trial manager is provided to the PDF evaluation method. Hence, data fields are calculated only once.
