README
This folder contains Python example scripts that illustrate the
usage of the ctools.
benchmark_cta_analysis.py
This script peforms a benchmark of the various CTA analysis types
(unbinned, binned, stacked), and if matplotlib is installed, creates
a plot of the benchmark results.
check_models.py
Checks a variety of models using an unbinned analysis.
make_pointings.py
This script creates pointings for CTA surveys. For the moment the
Galactic Plane Survey (gps), the Extragalactic Survey (extgal)
and the Galactic Centre Survey (gc) are implemented. The script
outputs and ASCII file that can be used by csobsdef.
make_pull_at_sensitivity_limit.py
This script creates pull distributions as function of energy
for a test source that is at the 5 sigma sensitivity limit for
50h of effective observing time. It takes as input file the
output file generated using cspull.
If the Python processing module is installed the script can make
use of multiple cores and runs in parallel.
make_spectrum.py
This script shows how to make a spectrum using obsutils.
make_survey.py
This script simulates a CTA galactic plane survey.
make_ts_distributions.py
This script creates TS distributions as function of energy for
an off observation of 50h effective observing time.
If the Python processing module is installed the script can make
use of multiple cores and runs in parallel.
benchmark_cta_analysis.py
Performs performance benchmarks of the various CTA analysis types.
pipeline_binned_disk.py
Example pipeline for simulating events and performing a binned
analysis by saving intermediate results to disk.

Example pipeline for simulating events and performing a binned
analysis in memory. No files will be written to disk.
pipeline_stacked_disk.py
Example pipeline for simulating events and performing a stacked
analysis by saving intermediate results to disk.
pipeline_stacked_mem.py
Example pipeline for simulating events and performing a stacked
analysis in memory. No files will be written to disk.
pipeline_unbinned_disk.py
Example pipeline for simulating events and performing an unbinned
analysis by saving intermediate results to disk.
pipeline_unbinned_mem.py
Example pipeline for simulating events and performing an unbinned
analysis in memory. No files will be written to disk.

show_ts_distribution.py
Displays Test Statistic histograms generated using the cstsdist
script.
