from gammapy.irf import EDispKernel
energy = np.logspace(0, 1, 101) * u.TeV
edisp = EDispKernel.from_gauss(
    e_true=energy, e_reco=energy,
    sigma=0.1, bias=0,

Methods Documentation

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_recoQuantity

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)
