New Features and Important Changes in ctools 0.10.0
Author(s) : Juergen Knoedlseder
31 October 2015
1. Introduction
---------------
This document briefly summarizes executable by executable the most important
changes made since the last release of ctools. The code complies to GammaLib
version 0.11.0 or above.
2. Configuration
-----------------
None
3. Python interface
-------------------
A specific cscripts Python module has been created for cscripts. This module
can be imported using
>>> import cscripts
The obsutils utility functions have also been moved into the scripts folder.
The obsutils.spectrum() function has been removed as it is now replaced by the
csspec script.
Some tests for the installed ctools package have been added. They can be
executed by typing the following under Python:
>>> cscripts.test()
4. Support model
----------------
The ctool base class now handles the specification of the --help option on
the command line. For each tools or script, a help text that is generated from
the .rst documentation files is displayed on the console when --help is given.
5. ctobssim - CTA observation simulation
----------------------------------------
None
6. ctselect - CTA event selection
---------------------------------
None
7. ctbin - CTA event binning
----------------------------
ctbin now verifies if an ROI has been set properly, and throws an exception in
case that no ROI information could be found.
8. ctlike - Maximum likelihood fitting
--------------------------------------
The optimizer is now allocated upon construction so that ctlike always returns a
meaningful object using the opt() method.
9. cttsmap - Generation of Test Statistics map
----------------------------------------------
None
10. ctskymap - CTA sky mapping
------------------------------
None
11. ctmodel - CTA counts cube modelling
---------------------------------------
None
12. ctexpcube - CTA exposure cube generation
--------------------------------------------
None
13. ctpsfcube - CTA point spread function cube generation
---------------------------------------------------------
None
14. ctbkgcube - CTA background cube generation
----------------------------------------------
Limit the power law prefactor to a range of [0.01,100] and the index to [-5,5]. This
solves some stability problems in csspec (#1547).
15. ctcubemask - CTA cube filtering
-----------------------------------
None
16. ctbutterfly - Generate butterfly diagrams
---------------------------------------------
None
17. ctulimit - Compute upper limit
----------------------------------
None
18. cterror - Likelihood profile error computation
--------------------------------------------------
Added initial version of the likelihood profile error computation tool. This
tool will scan the likelihood function to find the confidence interval for
all source parameters.
19. Examples
------------
None
20. Scripts
-----------
Added csinfo script to provide some information about the GammaLib and ctools
installation. To be run in case of problems to help diagnostics.
The cspull script was extended to now also handle stacked analysis in case
that an observation definition XML file is specified with multiple observations
by the inobs parameter.
21. caldb
---------
None
22. models
----------
None
