picca-bookkeeper 5.1.2

Helper to run Lyman-α analyses using picca

picca_bookkeeper is a tool designed to help running analyses using the package picca. It allows for the computation of all the steps necessary for the Lyman-alpha 3D analysis using a unified configuration file, appropriately chaining all the jobs.

Installation

The few needed requirements can be installed by using:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Use:

pip install .

File structure

picca_bookkeeper relies in a particular file structure to work as intended. The parent folder is chosen by the user using the data/bookkeeper dir option in the config file.

Inside this folder, the internal structure is the following:

├── configs # Location of bookkeeper configuration file and defaults files
│   ├── bookkeeper_config.yaml 
│   └── defaults.yaml
├── correlations # Location of the different correlations
│   ├── configs # Configuration used for the correlation (usually empty)
│   ├── logs # Log output from slurm runs
│   ├── results # Correlations
│   └── scripts # Scripts to run the correlations
├── deltas
│   ├── configs
│   ├── logs
│   ├── results
│   └── scripts
└── fits
    ├── configs
    ├── logs
    ├── results
    └── scripts

Configuration file

All the information needed to reproduce each of the run is (and should be) contained in the bookkeeper_config.yaml file. An example of a config file is stored under picca_bookkeeper.resources.example_config.yaml or can be retrieved in console by running picca_bookkeeper_show_example anywhere.

Scripts

There are multiple scripts associated with the package that are installed with the application, the most relevant are:

• picca_bookkeeper_run_full_analysis: Can be used to run the full analysis. It can skip some of the steps if needed.
• picca_bookkeeper_run_delta_extraction: Can be used to run deltas.
• picca_bookkeeper_run_cf and picca_bookkeeper_run_xcf: Can be used to run correlations.
• picca_bookkeeper_run_fit: Run fit.

For more information on how to run each of them use the --help command. (the scripts can be run directly from shell, e.g. picca_bookkeeper_run_full_analysis --help.).

Examples

¡¡Always check the terminal log to ensure the bookkeeper does what it is expected to do!! The bookkeeper is designed to avoid rerunning something twice, this is done by checking sent jobs to slurm and preliminarily writing job ids in output files. This is very convenient, but the user needs to verify (especially in runs with shared parts) that everything is done as expected.

Run full analysis

picca_bookkeeper_run_full_analysis config.yaml

Run full analysis if some steps where already computed (skipping them)

This will also check sent jobs, if they failed, they will be rerun automatically.

picca_bookkeeper_run_full_analysis config.yaml --skip-sent

Run two different correlations

If one wants to run two different correlation measurements for the same set of deltas, they can use the delta extraction/use existing option for the second set of correlations. The second set of correlations has to be run with the --skip-sent option, and it is not needed to wait for the first set to finish before launching the second one.

Run two different fits

Similarly as in the case of correlations, one can use the same deltas and correlations using the option delta extraction/use existing and correlations/use existing at the same time.

Run on mocks

To run on mocks, use as a defulat file quickquasars, raw or True. Then use one of the examples as a base and modify it. Remember to run without distortion and metals, removing them in the fits section:
