Maintenance will be performed on git.ligo.org, containers.ligo.org, and docs.ligo.org on Tuesday 25 March 2025 starting at approximately 8:30am PDT. It is expected to take around 30 minutes and there will be several periods of downtime throughout the maintenance. Please address any comments, concerns, or questions to the helpdesk.
How the marginalize_likelihoods_online program worked before is:
For each registry, get the rankingstat from the inspiral job and run calc_rank_pdfs of it
Add it to the variable data
retry the failed bins
data now contains the newly-created noise PDFS from (almost) every bin
get the marginalized zerolag from the trigger counter job and add it to the data variable. This should be the zerolag from the start of the analysis till now
If a previously saved marg dist_stat_pdf exists, load it and add it to data
data now contains not just the newly created noise PDFS, but also the noise PDFs from the start of the analysis till now
Save data to disk as the new version of the marg dist_stat_pdf file
With these changes, the marginalize_likelihoods_online implements the new extinction model. This involves first-round-extinction of the bin-specific PDFs with the bin-specific zerolag, adding these singly-extincted PDFs together, and adding the clustered zerolag so that it's ready for second-round-extinction. Now, the marginalize_likelihoods_online job works as:
0. Now the marg job also saves the bin-specific dist_stat_pdf to disk since they're required for first-round extinction. The path is determined by DataCache.generate, and not decided by the user. The filename of the marg dist_stat_pdf is still provided by the user
For each registry, load the old dist_stat_pdf file from disk if it exists
Get the rankingstat from the inspiral job and run calc_rank_pdfs of it, and add it to the old dist_stat_pdf
calc_rank_pdfs is retried 3 times in my version. This is because I found it difficult to coordinate the retries with both 1 and 2. But I think it's still possible to do the retries at the end like before, so I'll make that change soon
Save the new + old dist_stat_pdf to disk
Get the bin-specific zerolag from the corresponding inspiral job and add it to the new + old dist_stat_pdf (needed for dirst-round extinction)
Perform first round extinction on this pdf, and add it to the data variable
Since in each iteration of the loop we are adding the old and new dist_stat_pdfs to data, it contains the noise PDF from the start of the analysis to now. No need to do step 6 from the previous version of the code
Remove the bin-specific zerolags and add the marginalized zerolag from the trigger counter job. This should be the zerolag from the start of the analysis till now
Save data to disk as the new version of the marg dist_stat_pdf file
