Source code for ctapipe.image.pixel_likelihood

"""
Class for calculation of likelihood of a pixel expectation, given the pixel amplitude,
the level of noise in the pixel and the photoelectron resolution.
This calculation is taken from [denaurois2009]_.

The likelihood is essentially a poissonian convolved with a gaussian, at low signal
a full possonian approach must be adopted, which requires the sum of contibutions
over a number of potential contributing photoelectrons (which is slow).
At high signal this simplifies to a gaussian approximation.

The full and gaussian approximations are implemented, in addition to a general purpose
implementation, which tries to intellegently switch
between the two. Speed tests are below:

neg_log_likelihood_approx(image, prediction, spe, ped)
29.8 µs per loop

neg_log_likelihood_numeric(image, prediction, spe, ped)
93.4 µs per loop

neg_log_likelihood(image, prediction, spe, ped)
59.9 µs per loop

TODO:
=====
- Need to implement more tests, particularly checking for error states
- Additional terms may be useful to add to the likelihood
