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.

Alternatively, one can use the convenient methods do_trial() or unblind() to perform a random trial or to unblind the data, respectively. Both methods will fit the global fit parameters using the set up data. Finally, the test statistic is calculated via the calculate_test_statistic() method.

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:
