jackknife pair counting weights
I cannot find the citation to justify our jackknife pair counting weighting scheme.
Currently we count pairs as:
- both within the removed sample as 0.0
- one within and one outside as 0.5
- both outside as 1.0
The straight forward thing to do would be to count (2) as 0.0. Thoughts @aphearin @manodeep ?
@andrew-zentner - do you know of a reference for this?
@duncandc - have you tested how much of a difference this choice makes for a standard HOD mock, or just a halo sample at fixed mass?
I can see the reasoning behind using 0.5. May be we can design some test cases to figure out the correct form.
