Real-template single-mock validation ===================================== Beyond purely synthetic templates, ``sys_mapping`` is validated on a single fixed mock built from **real observational systematic maps**: the GAIA DR3 faint-star density and the Legacy Survey DR10 galaxy depth in the z band. This test exercises the full pipeline — from FITS loading and normalisation through inference, model selection, and diagnostics — with physically realistic template structure rather than toy random fields. The test is implemented in ``tests/test_real_templates.py`` and the analysis script ``scripts/run_mock_analysis_real_templates.py``. Mock configuration ------------------ .. list-table:: :widths: 40 60 :header-rows: 1 * - Parameter - Value * - NSIDE - 64 (pixel area ≈ 0.84 deg²; 49 152 pixels total) * - Survey footprint - LS10 depth valid mask: **22 641 pixels** (46.1 % of sky) * - Templates :math:`n_s` - 5 (synth_0, synth_1, synth_2, GAIA nstar_faint, LS10 GALDEPTH_Z) * - :math:`a_i^{\rm true}` (additive) - :math:`(0.08,\ {-0.05},\ 0.06,\ {-0.04})` * - :math:`b_i^{\rm true}` (multiplicative) - :math:`(0.04,\ 0.00,\ {-0.03},\ 0.05)` * - Mean galaxies per pixel :math:`\bar{n}` - 50 * - Random / galaxy ratio - 8× * - Seed - 7 Note that template 1 (``synth_1``) has :math:`b_1^{\rm true} = 0` (purely additive contamination), while templates 0, 2, and 3 carry non-zero multiplicative amplitudes — a realistic mixed-contamination scenario. Method recovery --------------- All six implemented methods are applied to this single fixed mock. The mean absolute additive-parameter recovery error :math:`\langle|\hat{a}_i - a_i^{\rm true}|\rangle` across the four templates is reported below, together with the tolerance used in ``test_real_templates.py``. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 :widths: 25 25 18 32 * - Method - Mean :math:`|\hat{a}_i - a_i^{\rm true}|` - Tolerance - Notes * - OLS - < 0.20 - 0.20 - Ordinary least-squares pixel regression; fastest method * - ElasticNet - < 0.25 - 0.25 - Cross-validated (3 folds); requires ``scikit-learn ≥ 1.3`` * - ISD-1 (poly_order = 1) - < 0.25 - 0.25 - Converges in < 50 iterations * - ISD-3 (poly_order = 3) - n/a (numerically unstable) - finite values only - 34 expanded features for :math:`n_s = 4`; ill-conditioned with real correlated templates * - MCMC-additive - < 0.25 - 0.25 - Chain shape :math:`(n_w \times 160,\; n_s + 1)` with :math:`n_w \geq 12` * - MCMC-combined - < 0.30 for :math:`\hat{a}_i`; < 0.30 for :math:`\hat{b}_i` - 0.30 - Chain shape :math:`(n_w \times 160,\; 2n_s + 1)` with :math:`n_w \geq 20` Results (5 mocks, NSIDE = 64) ----------------------------- .. figure:: _static/results_real_template_validation/real_template_a_recovery.png :width: 90% :align: center **Additive parameter recovery** (:math:`\hat{a}_i` vs :math:`a_i^{\rm true}`) across 5 mocks and all methods. MCMC-comb achieves RMS bias 0.042, comparable to OLS (0.044). .. figure:: _static/results_real_template_validation/real_template_b_recovery.png :width: 90% :align: center **Multiplicative parameter recovery** (:math:`\hat{b}_i` vs :math:`b_i^{\rm true}`); only MCMC-comb estimates :math:`b_i`. .. figure:: _static/results_real_template_validation/real_template_method_rms.png :width: 70% :align: center **Mean RMS additive bias per method** across 5 mocks. ISD-3 is numerically unstable with correlated real templates (RMS = 0.26). .. figure:: _static/results_real_template_validation/real_template_lrt_statistics.png :width: 70% :align: center **Likelihood-ratio test statistics** across mocks. The LRT rejects the additive-only null in 100 % of mocks, correctly identifying the combined contamination. Model selection and diagnostics -------------------------------- * **LRT** — the additive null hypothesis (:math:`b_i = 0\ \forall i`) is rejected at the 5 % level in all 5 mocks (100 % rejection rate), correctly reflecting non-zero multiplicative amplitudes. * **Null test** — median maximum Pearson correlation between OLS-corrected weights and templates satisfies :math:`\max_i |r_i| \approx 0.34`, confirming partial residual removal. * **SNR ranking** — real GAIA and LS10 templates carry detectable systematic signal (at least one template SNR :math:`> 0.01`). Running the validation ---------------------- Ensure the FITS files are present (the test resolves ``~/data/legacysurvey/dr10/systematics/0032/``; see :func:`~sys_mapping.maps.load_real_templates`), then:: conda activate sys_map pytest tests/test_real_templates.py -v Expected output:: 28 passed in ~113 s For a full multi-mock run with all methods (NSIDE = 64):: python scripts/run_mock_analysis_real_templates.py \ --syst-dir ~/data/legacysurvey/dr10/systematics/0064 \ --nside 64 --n-mocks 5 \ --output-dir docs/_static/results_real_template_validation/ Or at NSIDE = 32 (faster):: python scripts/run_mock_analysis_real_templates.py \ --syst-dir ~/data/legacysurvey/dr10/systematics/0032 \ --nside 32 --n-mocks 5 \ --output-dir docs/_static/results_real_template_validation/ ---- Outcome ------- The 28-test real-template validation suite was executed in the ``sys_map`` conda environment (Python 3.11, JAX 64-bit, scikit-learn ≥ 1.3, real GAIA DR3 and LS10 DR10 FITS files present at ``~/data/legacysurvey/dr10/systematics/``). **Results: 28 passed, 0 failed, 0 errors (runtime ≈ 113 s).** All six decontamination methods complete without error on the real-template footprint mock. The LRT correctly rejects the additive null at 5 % (three of four templates carry non-zero multiplicative amplitudes). Residual template correlations satisfy :math:`\max_i |r_i| < 0.50` for OLS-corrected weights, confirming that the pipeline removes the injected systematic signal. .. note:: The real-template FITS files reside in NSIDE-specific subdirectories: ``~/data/legacysurvey/dr10/systematics/0032/`` (NSIDE=32) and ``~/data/legacysurvey/dr10/systematics/0064/`` (NSIDE=64). Tests skip automatically when these paths are absent. These results validate that ``sys_mapping`` works end-to-end with physically realistic systematic maps before being applied to the real LS10 BGS data (see :doc:`results_ls10`).
