Examples

Create a Gaussian energy dispersion matrix:

import numpy as np
import astropy.units as u
from gammapy.irf import EnergyDispersion
energy = np.logspace(0, 1, 101) * u.TeV
edisp = EnergyDispersion.from_gauss(

Methods Documentation

apply(data)

Apply energy dispersion.

Computes the matrix product of data (which typically is model flux or counts in true energy bins) with the energy dispersion matrix.

Parameters:

data : array_like

1-dim data array.

Returns:

convolved_data : array

1-dim data array after multiplication with the energy dispersion matrix

classmethod from_diagonal_response(e_true, e_reco=None)

Create energy dispersion from a diagonal response, i.e. perfect energy resolution

This creates the matrix corresponding to a perfect energy response. It contains ones where the e_true center is inside the e_reco bin. It is a square diagonal matrix if e_true = e_reco.

This is useful in cases where code always applies an edisp, but you don’t want it to do anything.

Parameters:

e_true, e_reco : Quantity

Energy bounds for true and reconstructed energy axis

Examples

If e_true equals e_reco, you get a diagonal matrix:

e_true = [0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6] * u.TeV
edisp = EnergyDispersion.from_diagonal_response(e_true)
edisp.plot_matrix()

Example with different energy binnings:

e_true = [0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6] * u.TeV
e_reco = [2, 4, 6] * u.TeV
edisp = EnergyDispersion.from_diagonal_response(e_true, e_reco)
edisp.plot_matrix()

classmethod from_gauss(e_true, e_reco, sigma, bias, pdf_threshold=1e-06)

Create Gaussian energy dispersion matrix (EnergyDispersion).
