Changelog

0.2.7 (unreleased)

0.2.6

  • updated Cosmology class built on classylss, a Python binding of the CLASS Boltzmann code
  • LinearPower object added with CLASS or Eisenstein-Hu transfer
  • ZeldovichPower object added to compute Zel’dovich power spectrum
  • HalofitPower object added to compute nonlinear power
  • CorrelationFunction object added to FFT power spectra to compute theoretical correlation functions
  • EHPower and NoWiggleEHPower deprecated in favor of LinearPower object

0.2.5

  • CSVFile and CSVCatalog no longer fails to read the last line of data when the file does not end in a newline
  • CylindricalGroups algorithm added for computing groups of objects using the cylindrical grouping method of arXiv:1611.04165
  • SimulationBoxPairCount and SurveyDataPairCount classes added to perform pair counting of objects in either simulation boxes or from survey data catalogs (using Corrfunc code)
  • large addition of documentation for version 0.2.x; still partially completed
  • DataSet has been renamed to BinnedStatistic
  • calculation of dk fixed in ProjectedFFTPower
  • paint() supports a Nmesh parameter, for easier re-sampling of mesh objects
  • addition of Value column for painting mesh objects; this represents the value of the field painted, i.e., unity to paint density, or velocity to paint momentum (number-weighted velocity)
  • addition of style module with matplotlib style sheet to make nice plots in our doc tutorials; this makes the docs reproducible by users
  • transform.vstack deprecated in favor of transform.StackColumns
  • transform.concatenate deprecated in favor of transform.ConcatenateSources
  • when painting catalogs to a mesh, users can specify the position column to use via the position keyword
  • MultipleSpeciesCatalog object added to support painting multiple species of particles to the same mesh, i.e, baryons and dark matter particles in hydro simulations
  • CatalogMeshSource renamed to CatalogMesh internally
  • can now delete a column from a CatalogSource
  • can now slice a CatalogSource using a list of column names
  • fix bug in ConstantArray when length is 1

0.2.4

  • transform.StackColumns renamed to vstack
  • transform.concatenate function added, which takes a list of source objects, and returns a new Source that has the concatenation of all data
  • compatibility with halotools version 0.5
  • ability to resample a MemoryMesh object
  • bug fixes related to calculation of growth rate in cosmology module
  • ArrayCatalog can now be initialized from a dictionary or structured array
  • add a ProjectedFFTPower algorithm, that computes the FFT Power, but can project over certain axes, i.e., projected axes have their power averaged over
  • FITSCatalog added to the io module, for reading FITS files
  • KDDensity to quickly estimate local density in density region.
  • FOF also identifies Peak position and velocity.

0.2.3

  • use of resampler keyword in the paint function for compatibility with pmesh versions >= 0.1.24
  • bug fixes and code cleanup

0.2.2

  • package maintenance updates only

0.2.1

  • base dependencies + extras (halotools, h5py); install all dependencies via pip nbodykit[extras]
  • meta-data calculations in FKPCatalog now account for Source selection properly
  • support for numpy int/float meta-data in JSON output files
  • Cosmology instances no longer return attributes as Quantity instances, assuming a default set of units
  • renaming of various classes/module related to the nbodykit.Source syntax
    • no more nbodykit.Source in nbodykit.lab
    • nbodykit.source.particle has been renamed to nbodykit.source.catalog
    • source objects are now catalogs – there class names have “Catalog” appended to their names
    • added individual catalogs for different file types in nbodykit.io, i.e., CSVCatalog, HDFCatalog, etc
  • the .apply operation is no longer in place for sources; it returns a view with the list of actions extended
  • galaxy type (central vs satellite) stored as integers in HODCatalog
