Description

This is the v.1.5.0 release of PyFstat, a python package for gravitational wave analysis with the F-statistic, dated 30/07/2020.

This release requires at least python 3.6.

From the changelog since the previous version (v1.4.2):

  • new default coverage band behaviour for all search classes:
    • estimate from search ranges (GridSearch) or prior (MCMCSearch) unless minCoverFreq, maxCoverFreq set
    • negative values can be used to reproduce old default of setting from SFT width
    • explicit option estimate_covering_band deprecated
  • semicoherent searches:
    • sped up by only calling ComputeTransientFstatMap once per point
    • BSGL now computed from summed F-stats, not for each segment
    • per-segment results now stored in attribute twoF_per_segment instead of det_stat_per_segment
  • MCMC searches: save twoF for each sample to .dat file
  • Writer:
    • options minStartTime, maxStartTime deprecated
    • always use tstart, duration for actual data range
    • and use transientStartTime, transientTau for transients
  • transient-on-GPU output file writing fix
  • examples:
    • all output now goes to a directory "PyFstat_example_data"
    • added mcmc_vs_grid_simple_example
