Features

The main functionality of Voiager includes the following steps:

  • Reading of tracer and void catalogs (based on VIDE)

  • Generation of random catalogs (based on healpy)

  • Estimation of void-galaxy cross-correlation functions (based on scipy k-d trees)

  • Projection and deprojection along the line of sight (based on PyAbel)

  • Estimation of covariances (based on jackknife resampling)

  • Models and likelihood functions (based on linear theory and Gaussian statistics)

  • Maximization of likelihoods (based on scipy.optimize)

  • Sampling of likelihoods (based on emcee)

  • Plotting of summary statistics and results (based on matplotlib and GetDist)
