pyRSD¶
Accurate predictions for the clustering of galaxies in redshift-space in Python
pyRSD is a Python package for computing the theoretical predictions of the redshift-space power spectrum of galaxies. The package also includes functionality for performing Bayesian parameter estimation using the MCMC sampling technique or Maximum a posteriori estimation using the LBFGS algorithm to perform the nonlinear optimization.
Note
The theoretical models used in this paper are described in more detail in Hand et al. 2017. Please cite this work if you use this package in your research.
