During December 2024, Arnau Font enhanced the igmhub/picca repository by refining quasar pair filtering and forest-pair redshift-cut computations. He refactored the neighbor-finding logic in Python to apply angular and velocity cuts more accurately, and introduced a renamed CLI flag for redshift error thresholds, improving user experience and documentation clarity. By adding redshift error-based cuts to both xi and dmat calculations, Arnau increased the reliability of cosmological correlation results. His work emphasized scientific computing and data analysis, resolving a stability issue in dmat generation and updating docstrings, which collectively improved analysis accuracy, code maintainability, and developer onboarding.
December 2024: Delivered precision improvements to quasar pair filtering and forest-pair redshift-cut computations, with targeted CLI UX and documentation enhancements. Key changes include a CLI flag rename for redshift error cuts, refactoring the neighbor-finding logic to apply angular and velocity cuts correctly, and introducing redshift error-based cuts in forest pair calculations (xi and dmat) with updated help messages. A stability bug in dmat computation was fixed, accompanied by docstring updates and clearer XCF documentation steps. These changes improve analysis accuracy, reliability, and developer usability, enabling more robust cosmological inferences and faster researcher adoption.
