Struct TallyResult

pub struct TallyResult {
    pub value: f64,
    pub error: f64,
}

Tally result containing a value and relative error

All tally results are output as <value> <error> pairs. Each pair is stored as a TallyResult to avoid maintiaing multiple arrays and indexing both to retrieve data that should be linked.

For example:

 vals
    1.00000E+00 0.1230  2.00000E+00 0.4560  3.00000E+00 0.7890 ...

[
    TallyResult {
        value: 1.00000E+00,
        error: 0.1230,
    },
    TallyResult {
        value: 2.00000E+00,
        error: 0.4560,
    },
    TallyResult {
        value: 3.00000E+00,
        error: 0.7890,
    },
    ...
]

Fields

value: f64

Tally result value

error: f64

Relative uncertainty

Implementations

impl TallyResult

pub fn absolute_error(&self) -> f64

Absolute error on the result

For example:

let result = TallyResult {
    value: 50.0,
    error: 0.10,
};
/// 10% relative error => 50.0 +/-5.0
assert_eq!(result.absolute_error(), 5.0);

pub fn relative_error(&self) -> f64

Relative error on the result

The MCNP tally outputs are provided and stored as the relative uncertainty anyway. However, having both absolute_error() and relative_error() methods makes intent explicit.

For example:

let result = TallyResult {
    value: 50.0,
    error: 0.10,
};
/// 10% relative error => 50.0 +/-5.0
assert_eq!(result.relative_error(), 0.1);

Trait Implementations
