Installation

Requirements: Python 2.7 or 3.3+ with numpy.

Install the latest release with pip:

pip install hic

To run the tests, install nose and run

nosetests -v hic

Simple examples

Calculate flow cumulants:

from hic import flow

vnk = flow.Cumulant(mult, q2, q3)
v22 = vnk.flow(2, 2)

Randomly sample events with specified flows:

sampler = flow.Sampler(v2, v3)
phi = sampler.sample(mult)

Calculate initial condition eccentricities:

from hic import initial

ic = initial.IC(profile, dxy)
e2 = ic.ecc(2)
