Module containing the `~halotools.empirical_models.SubhaloMockFactory` class,
the primary class used to construct mock galaxy populations
based on subhalo-based models.

The `~halotools.empirical_models.SubhaloMockFactory` class

[docs] def populate(self, seed=None): """ Method populating subhalos with mock galaxies. By calling the `populate` method of your mock, you will repopulate the halo catalog with a new realization of the model based on whatever values of the model parameters are currently stored in the ``param_dict`` of the model. For an in-depth discussion of how this method is implemented, see the :ref:`subhalo_mock_factory_source_notes` section of the documentation. Parameters ---------- seed : int, optional Random number seed used in the Monte Carlo realization. Default is None, which will produce stochastic results. Notes ----- Note the difference between the `halotools.empirical_models.SubhaloMockFactory.populate` method and the closely related method `halotools.empirical_models.SubhaloModelFactory.populate_mock`. The `~halotools.empirical_models.SubhaloModelFactory.populate_mock` method is bound to a composite model instance and is called the *first* time a composite model is used to generate a mock. Calling the `~halotools.empirical_models.SubhaloModelFactory.populate_mock` method creates the `~halotools.empirical_models.SubhaloMockFactory` instance and binds it to composite model. From then on, if you want to *repopulate* a new Universe with the same composite model, you should instead call the `~halotools.empirical_models.SubhaloMockFactory.populate` method bound to ``model.mock``. The reason for this distinction is that calling `~halotools.empirical_models.SubhaloModelFactory.populate_mock` triggers a large number of relatively expensive pre-processing steps and self-consistency checks that need only be carried out once. See the Examples section below for an explicit demonstration. In particular, if you are running an MCMC type analysis, you will choose your halo catalog and completeness cuts, and call `~halotools.empirical_models.SubhaloModelFactory.populate_mock` with the appropriate arguments. Thereafter, you can explore parameter space by changing the values stored in the ``param_dict`` dictionary attached to the model, and then calling the `~halotools.empirical_models.MockFactory.populate` method bound to ``model.mock``. Any changes to the ``param_dict`` of the model will automatically propagate into the behavior of the `~halotools.empirical_models.MockFactory.populate` method. Normally, repeated calls to the `~halotools.empirical_models.SubhaloMockFactory.populate` method should not increase the RAM usage of halotools because a new mock catalog is created and the old one deleted. However, on certain machines the memory usage was found to increase over time. If this is the case and memory usage is critical you can try calling gc.collect() immediately following the call to ``mock.populate`` to manually invoke python's garbage collection. Examples ---------- >>> from halotools.empirical_models import PrebuiltSubhaloModelFactory >>> model_instance = PrebuiltSubhaloModelFactory('behroozi10') Here we will use a fake simulation, but you can populate mocks using any instance of `~halotools.sim_manager.CachedHaloCatalog` or `~halotools.sim_manager.UserSuppliedHaloCatalog`. >>> from halotools.sim_manager import FakeSim >>> halocat = FakeSim() >>> model_instance.populate_mock(halocat) Your ``model_instance`` now has a ``mock`` attribute bound to it. You can call the `populate` method bound to the ``mock``, which will repopulate the halo catalog with a new Monte Carlo realization of the model. >>> model_instance.mock.populate() If you want to change the behavior of your model, just change the values stored in the ``param_dict``. Differences in the parameter values will change the behavior of the mock-population. >>> model_instance.param_dict['scatter_model_param1'] = 0.25 >>> model_instance.mock.populate() See also --------- :ref:`subhalo_mock_factory_source_notes` """ self._allocate_memory(seed=seed) for method in self.model._mock_generation_calling_sequence: func = getattr(self.model, method) if seed is not None: seed += 1 func(table=self.galaxy_table, seed=seed) if hasattr(self.model, 'galaxy_selection_func'): mask = self.model.galaxy_selection_func(self.galaxy_table) self.galaxy_table = self.galaxy_table[mask]
