Description
Procoli is a python package for extracting profile likelihoods in cosmology. It wraps MontePython, a fast sampler written specifically for the CLASS Boltzmann code. All likelihoods available for use with MontePython are hence immediately available to all Procoli users.
It is based on a simulated-annealing optimizer to find the global maximum likelihoods value as well as the maximum likelihood points along the profile of any use input parameter.
Installation
Prerequisites are MontePython and GetDist and everything that those entail. Please refer to their individual documentations to see specific installation instructions.
- GetDist can be pip-installed and Procoli will attempt to install it by itself.
- MontePython must be installed by the user and must be on your PATH, such that it is callable from any directory, as described here.
- Install CLASS and any likelihoods that you may want to use, eg. the Planck Likelihood Code.
To install Procoli, simply run
pip install procoli --upgrade
Alternatively you can clone the GitHub and install by doing:
git clone git@github.com:tkarwal/procoli.git
cd procoli
pip install -e .
where the -e
can be omitted if you do not want an editable version of the code.
Running Procoli
Please see the notebooks, python scripts and bash scripts for example runs.
The recommended running strategy is to run Procoli via a python script submitted to a cluster, ideally running on several processors to speed up the minimization, i.e., cpus-per-task
in your job script should be ~4.
The code should also be run using several parallel chains for robustness, i.e. input processes
>= 4, say.
For more details, see the example_run.py and example_bash_script.sh files.
The code outputs the file <name>_<+/-><prof_param>_lkl_profile.txt
that contains the values of all parameters at the minimized points for each iteration of the profile parameter, plus derived params, the $-\log \mathcal{L}$ as well as the individual $\chi^2$ per experiment.
The <+/->
in the filename indicates whether the positive or negative tail of the profile was explored, starting from the best fit.
As shown in the example files, both directions can be explored and these files can then be plotted, with some quick basic built-in functions demonstrated in lcdm_example.ipynb.
