# PyFstat

This is a python package providing an interface to perform F-statistic based
continuous gravitational wave (CW) searches,
built on top of the [LALSuite library](https://doi.org/10.7935/GT1W-FZ16).

Getting started:
* This README provides information on
[installing](#installation),
[contributing](#contributors) to 
and [citing](#citing-this-work) PyFstat.
* PyFstat usage and its API are documented at [pyfstat.readthedocs.io](https://pyfstat.readthedocs.io/).
* We also have a number of [examples](https://github.com/PyFstat/PyFstat/tree/master/examples),
demonstrating different use cases.
You can run them locally, or online as jupyter notebooks with
[binder](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/PyFstat/PyFstat/master).
* New contributors are encouraged to have a look into
[how to set up a development environment](#contributing-to-pyfstat)
* The [project wiki](https://github.com/PyFstat/PyFstat/wiki) is mainly used for developer information.
* A [changelog](https://github.com/PyFstat/PyFstat/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)

## Installation

PyFstat releases can be installed in a variety of ways, including
[Docker/Singularity images](#docker-container),
[`pip install` from PyPi](#pip-install-from-PyPi),
[conda](#conda-installation)
and [from source releases on Zenodo](#install-pyfstat-from-source-zenodo-or-git-clone).
Latest development versions can
[also be installed with pip](#pip-install-from-github)
or [from a local git clone](#install-pyfstat-from-source-zenodo-or-git-clone).

If you don't have a recent `python` installation (`3.7+`) on your system,
then `Docker` or `conda` are the easiest paths.

In either case, be sure to also check out the notes on
[dependencies](#dependencies),
[ephemerides files](#ephemerides-installation)
and [citing this work](#citing-this-work).

### Docker container

Ready-to-use PyFstat containers are available at the [Packages](https://github.com/PyFstat/PyFstat/packages)
page. A GitHub account together with a personal access token is required.
[Go to the wiki page](https://github.com/PyFstat/PyFstat/wiki/Containers)
to learn how to pull them from the GitHub registry using `Docker` or `Singularity`.

### conda installation

See [this wiki page](https://github.com/PyFstat/PyFstat/wiki/conda-environments)
for installing conda itself and for a minimal .yml recipe to set up a PyFstat-specific environment.

To install into an existing conda environment, all you need to do is
```
conda install -c conda-forge pyfstat 
```

If getting PyFstat from conda-forge, it already includes the required ephemerides files.

### pip install from PyPI

PyPI releases are available from https://pypi.org/project/PyFstat/.

Note that the PyFstat installation will fail at the
LALSuite dependency stage
if your `pip` is too old (e.g. 18.1); to be on the safe side, before starting do
```
pip install --upgrade pip
```

Then, a simple
```
pip install pyfstat
```
should give you the latest release version with all dependencies.

If you are not installing into a [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html)
or [conda environment](#conda-installation),
on many systems you may need to use the `--user` flag.

Recent releases now also include a sufficient minimal set of ephemerides files.

### pip install from github

Development versions of PyFstat can also be easily installed by
pointing pip directly to this git repository,
which will give you the latest version of the master branch:
```
pip install git+https://github.com/PyFstat/PyFstat
```
or, if you have an ssh key installed in github:
```
pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/PyFstat/PyFstat
```

This should pull in all dependencies in the same way as installing from PyPI,
and recent lalsuite dependencies will include ephemerides files too.

### install PyFstat from source (Zenodo or git clone)

You can download a source release tarball from [Zenodo](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3967045)
and extract to an arbitrary temporary directory.
Alternatively, clone this repository:

```
git clone https://github.com/PyFstat/PyFstat.git
```

The module and associated scripts can be installed system wide
(or to the currently active venv),
assuming you are in the (extracted or cloned) source directory, via
```
python setup.py install
```
As a developer, alternatively
```
python setup.py develop
```
or
```
pip install -e /path/to/PyFstat
```
can be useful so you can directly see any changes you make in action.
Alternatively (not recommended!), add the source directory directly to your python path.

To check that the installation
was successful, run
```
python -c 'import pyfstat'
```
if no error message is output, then you have installed `pyfstat`. Note that
the module will be installed to whichever python executable you call it from.

This should pull in all dependencies in the same way as installing from PyPI,
and recent lalsuite dependencies will include ephemerides files too.

### Dependencies

PyFstat uses the following external python modules,
which should all be pulled in automatically if you use `pip`:

* [numpy](https://www.numpy.org/)
* [matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/)
* [scipy](https://www.scipy.org/)
* [ptemcee](https://github.com/willvousden/ptemcee)
* [corner](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/corner/)
* [dill](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dill)
* [tqdm](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tqdm)
* [bashplotlib](https://github.com/glamp/bashplotlib)
* [peakutils](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PeakUtils)
* [pathos](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pathos)
* [lalsuite](https://pypi.org/project/lalsuite/)
* [versioneer](https://pypi.org/project/versioneer/)

For a general introduction to installing modules, see
[here](https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html).

### Optional dependencies

PyFstat manages optional dependencies through setuptool's `extras_require`.

Available sets of optional dependencies are:

* `chainconsumer` ([Samreay/Chainconsumer](https://github.com/Samreay/ChainConsumer)): Required to run some optional 
plotting methods and some of the [example scripts](./examples).
* `pycuda` ([PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/pycuda/)): Required for the `tCWFstatMapVersion=pycuda`
  option of the `TransientGridSearch` class. (Note: Installing `pycuda` requires a working 
  `nvcc` compiler in your path.)
* `style`: Includes the `flake8` linter ([flake8.pycqa](https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest)),
  `black` style checker ([black.readthedocs](https://black.readthedocs.io)),
  and `isort` for import ordering ([pycqa.github.io](https://pycqa.github.io/isort/)).
  These checks are required to pass by the online integration pipeline.
* `test`: For running the test suite locally using [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org) and some of its addons
  (`python -m pytest tests/`).
* `wheel`: Includes `wheel` and `check-wheel-contents`.
* `dev`: Collects `style`, `test` and `wheel`.
* `docs`: Required dependencies to build the documentation.

Installation can be done by adding one or more of the aforementioned tags to the installation command.

For example, installing PyFstat including `chainconsumer`, `pycuda` and `style` dependencies would look like
(mind the lack of whitespaces!)
```
pip install pyfstat[chainconsumer,pycuda,style]
```
This command accepts the "development mode" tag `-e`.

* If you prefer to make your own LALSuite installation
[from source](https://git.ligo.org/lscsoft/lalsuite/),
make sure it is **swig-enabled** and contains at least the `lalpulsar` and `lalapps` packages.
A minimal configuration line to use would be e.g.:
```
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/lalsuite-install --disable-all-lal --enable-lalpulsar --enable-lalapps --enable-swig
```

### Ephemerides installation

PyFstat requires paths to earth and sun ephemerides files
in order to use the `lalpulsar.ComputeFstat` module and various `lalapps` tools.
Recent releases of the `lal` and `lalpulsar` dependencies from `conda`
or `lalsuite` from PyPI
include a sufficient minimal set of such files
(the `[earth/sun]00-40-DE405` default versions)
and no further setup should be needed.
The same should be true if you have built and installed LALSuite from source,
and set your paths up properly through something like
`source $MYLALPATH/etc/lalsuite-user-env.sh`.

However, if you run into errors with these files not found,
or want to use different versions,
you can manually download files from
[this directory](https://git.ligo.org/lscsoft/lalsuite/-/tree/master/lalpulsar/lib).
You then need to tell PyFstat where to find these files,
by creating a `~/.pyfstat.conf` file in your home directory which looks like
```
earth_ephem = '/home/<USER>/lalsuite-install/share/lalpulsar/earth00-19-DE405.dat.gz'
sun_ephem = '/home/<USER>/lalsuite-install/share/lalpulsar/sun00-19-DE405.dat.gz'
```
Paths set in this way will take precedence over lal's default resolution logic.

You can also manually specify ephemerides files when initialising
each PyFstat class with the `earth_ephem` and `sun_ephem` arguments.

NOTE: The alternative of relying on environment variables
(as previously recommended by PyFstat's documentation)
is considered deprecated by LALSuite maintainers
and is no longer supported by current PyFstat versions.

## Contributing to PyFstat

This project is open to development, please feel free to contact us
for advice or just jump in and submit an
[issue](https://github.com/PyFstat/PyFstat/issues/new/choose) or
[pull request](https://github.com/PyFstat/PyFstat/compare).

Here's what you need to know:
* The github automated tests currently run on `python` [3.7,3.8,3.9,3.10]
  and new PRs need to pass all these.
* The automated test also runs
  the [black](https://black.readthedocs.io) style checker,
  the [flake8](https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/) linter,
  and the [isort](https://pycqa.github.io/isort/) import ordering helper.
  If at all possible, please run these tools locally before pushing changes / submitting PRs:
  `isort .` to sort package imports,
  `flake8 --count --statistics .` to find common coding errors and then fix them manually,
  `black --check --diff .` to show the required style changes, or `black .` to automatically apply them.
* `bin/setup-dev-tools.sh` gets your virtual environment ready for you. After making sure you are 
using a virtual environment (venv or conda),
it installs `black`, `flake8`, `pre-commit`, `pytest`, `wheel` via `pip` and uses `pre-commit` to run
`isort`, `black`, `flake8` and other pre-commit hooks
to automatically reformat your code to match our style
and/or get warnings for things to fix that would fail on the github integration tests.

You can also obtain DOIs for individual versioned releases (from 1.5.x upward)
from the right sidebar at [Zenodo](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3967045).

Alternatively, if you've used PyFstat up to version 1.4.x in your works,
the DOIs for those versions can be found from the sidebar at
[this older Zenodo record](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1243930)
and please amend the BibTeX entry accordingly.


PyFstat uses the [`ptemcee` sampler](https://github.com/willvousden/ptemcee), which can be 
cited as 
[Vousden, Far & Mandel 2015](https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2422)
([ADS:2016MNRAS.455.1919V](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016MNRAS.455.1919V/abstract))

([2013PASP..125..306F](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013PASP..125..306F/abstract)).

PyFstat also makes generous use of functionality from the LALSuite library
and it will usually be appropriate to also cite that project
(see [this recommended bibtex entry](https://git.ligo.org/lscsoft/lalsuite/#acknowledgment))
and also [Wette 2020](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2020.100634)
