Welcome to ``veloce``, the velocity power spectrum covariance emulator! We use an emulator based on neural networks to accelerate the prediction of covariance matrices for different cosmologies in the context of supernovae studies. If you are interested and want to know more, [check out the paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.10453), [raise an issue](https://github.com/dpiras/veloce/issues) or contact [Davide Piras](mailto:dr.davide.piras@gmail.com). 



## Installation

To use the emulator and/or sample your supernovae posterior, follow these steps:
1. (optional) `conda create -n veloce python=3.11 jupyter ipython=8.20` (create a custom `conda` environment with `python 3.11`) 
2. (optional) `conda activate veloce` (activate it)
3. Install the package:

        pip install velocemu
        python -c 'import velocemu'

   or alternatively, clone the repository and install it:

        git clone https://github.com/dpiras/veloce.git
        cd veloce
        pip install . 
        python -c 'import velocemu'

## Usage

Cloning the repository will also give you access to all [Jupyter notebooks](https://github.com/dpiras/veloce/tree/main/notebooks), which include information on how to [generate a single element of the covariance](https://github.com/dpiras/veloce/blob/main/notebooks/generate_single_element.ipynb), [use the emulator](https://github.com/dpiras/veloce/blob/main/notebooks/use_emulator.ipynb), and [sample the posterior](https://github.com/dpiras/veloce/blob/main/notebooks/sample.ipynb).

## Trained models

You can find the available models in [this folder](https://github.com/dpiras/veloce/tree/main/velocemu/trained_models), which will be updated when new models become available. Currently, we provide the model that leads to the final results of the paper, namely the nonlinear case with fixed $\sigma_{\rm u}$, but more models are in production. If you are interested in other models, please [reach out](https://github.com/dpiras/veloce/issues) or contact [Davide Piras](mailto:dr.davide.piras@gmail.com). Also note that it should be straightforward for you to train your own models using [CosmoPower](https://github.com/alessiospuriomancini/cosmopower), and then add them under [`velocemu/trained_models`](https://github.com/dpiras/veloce/tree/main/velocemu/trained_models).

## Contributing and contacts

Feel free to [fork](https://github.com/dpiras/veloce/fork) this repository to work on it; otherwise, please [raise an issue](https://github.com/dpiras/veloce/issues) or contact [Davide Piras](mailto:dr.davide.piras@gmail.com).
