The Python module that used to measure the environment-dependent Wavelet Power Spectrum (env-WPS) of the cosmic density field.

WPSmesh

The Python module WPSmesh is built upon the nbodykit. We use it to measure the environment-dependent Wavelet Power Spectrum (env-WPS) of the cosmic density field.
