Coefficient Correlations #33
Description
Description
Get the coefficients in repeated runs and find the correlations!
Additional context
For agama multipole
``the coefficients are indeed written to text files by the Potential.export() method, though the detailed specification of this file is not given in the docs. But it does have a rather simple structure: after a few header lines, there comes an array of potential coefficients, followed by radial derivative coefficients: Phi_{lm}(r), dPhi_{lm}/dr. Each line contains the radius and then the values of each potential harmonic at this radius, in the following order: l=0; l=1,m=-1; l=1,m=0; l=1,m=1; l=2,m=-2; l=2,m=-1; etc., where negative m correspond to sine and positive - to cosine terms in the expansion - in total, (lmax+1)^2 terms. The normalization convention is described in the section A.4.1 of reference.pdf
Although there is no way to access these coefs from Python, you may save them to a file and read it off as a numpy array if needed." Eugene Vasiliev (GalacticDynamics-Oxford/Agama#9)
