Hi,

I am trying to use eazy-py on a test sample of 1000 sources, and I am trying to understand why I am not getting uncertainties in photo-zs. For example, when looking at zout['z025'] or zout['z160'](which I guess are the percentiles of the p(z) distribution) all the values are 0.005.

I am able to plot SEDs and P(Z). They look fine to me. To give you more context, I am using this tutorial, I am just using my own catalog with my own templates.
When I try running the tutorial, I get "right" values for zout['z025'] or zout['z160'].

Other than catalog and templates, this is what I have set up differently:

  • I am using magnitudes instead of flux densities, and I have set up params['MAGNITUDES'] = True
  • I do not turn off the iterative corrections, so I commented out self.set_sys_err(positive=True)
  • when doing zout, hdu = self.standard_output(simple=False, rf_pad_width=0.5, rf_max_err=2, prior=True, beta_prior=True, absmag_filters=[], extra_rf_filters=[])

I get this message: Couldn't find template parameters file templates/ananna17_seds/ananna_list.param.fits for population synthesis calculations.
