class Schmidt2010StructureFunctionCalculator(lightcurves: List[tape.analysis.structure_function.sf_light_curve.StructureFunctionLightCurve], argument_container: tape.analysis.structure_function.base_argument_container.StructureFunctionArgumentContainer)

Bases: tape.analysis.structure_function.base_calculator.StructureFunctionCalculator

This class implements the structure function calculation described in Eqn. 2 of Schmidt et al. 2010, 2010ApJ…714.1194S [https://arxiv.org/abs/1002.2642] Schmidt et al. 2010, Erratum 2010ApJ…721.1941S

SF(delta_t) = mean(sqrt(pi/2) * abs(delta_flux_i,j) - sqrt(err_i^2 + err_j^2))

Note that the return value is structure function squared.

calculate()

Abstract method that must be implemented by the child class.

static name_id() → str

This method will return the unique name of the Structure Function calculation method.

static expected_argument_container() → type

This method will return the argument container class type (not an instance) that the Structure Function calculation method requires in order to perform it’s calculations.
