To Do List

Had a meeting with Schlegel today and left with a long list of things to do:

1. Try running reconstruction on Eyal's LRG catalog, which means making a version of the code to take in a set of randoms as well as the data (instead of generating the randoms within the code). This will be useful for the BOSS Commissioning data because they will similarly have a set of randoms that occupy the same region as the galaxies.
   
2. Write code to get the galaxies/redshifts from the BOSS Commissioning data
3. Try to figure out why the likelihood is missing objects. Do this by looking at the three methods and making a plot of i-magitude vs redshift where the colors of the objects are coded by the selection algorithms. For instance: LIKE = yellow, NN = blue, KDE = red, LIKE+NN = Green, LIKE + KDE = Orange, NN + KDE = purple, LIKE+NN+KDE = Brown.
4. Need to put out external collaborator request and project announcement for the Newman Project.
5. Have been asked to give a talk about likelihood (and possibly also) Newman Project at the SDSS Collaboration meeting. Need to flush out what I'm going to talk about.
6. I'm running a large reconstruction run on 1,000,000 points. When that finishes, need to see if reconstruction looks any better. It is in the directory: run201021_037
7. I have saved the IDL code that Schlegel run today to look at BOSS Data in the following log file: /logs/100201log2.py.
8. I still haven't worked out what caused the MaxList error in the xiss0.dat file in run run2010129_333
9. Book travel for Utah.
10. Write check to LBL for Mexico Flight.
    

My Fault

I wanted to play with the binning of my correlation functions, and so tried to run again with different bin sizes. I got the following message when I tried to run the 2D cross correlation:

In [111]: runcrossCorr(argumentFile, corr2dfile, spec2dfile, photo2dfile, nrbins, minRaS, maxRaS, minDecS, maxDecS, minRaP, maxRaP, minDecP, maxDecP, mincorr, maxcorr, corrBins)

Have I mentioned how much I hate Segmentation Faults?

After an hour of debugging I finally figured out that I had left out a line of code that converted from radians to degrees. I really need to put better error checks into the code so that it prints a message when something like this happens, rather than dying.

Kinda mad at the world now.
