dark-emulator 1.1.2

dark emulator package

Dark Emulator

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).

Install

In order to install dark emulator package, use pip:

   pip install dark_emulator

or use conda:

   conda install -c nishimichi dark_emulator

Please note that updates on conda are currently halted due to an unresolved issue in conda build. Therefore, we recommend using the version in pip or installing from the source using the following command.

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.
