gstlal_inspiral_make_snr_pdf ============================ Generate an SNR PDF database file. Command line options -------------------- .. code-block:: none Usage: gstlal_inspiral_make_snr_pdf [options] Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -f, --full Generate SNR PDFs for all possible horizon distance ratios as defined by the SNR PDF mechanism's internal quantization system. Use --instruments to select the detector network to model (required). A PDF will be constructed for every combination of --min-instruments or more instruments from the set. When --full is enabled, any --horizon-distances options and/or PSD files are ignored. See also --full-fragment for information on parallelization. --full-fragment=n/m Enable parallelization of --full by selecting a fragment of the full SNR PDFs sequence to generate. When --full is enabled, the iteration over SNR PDFs employs a reproducible, deterministic, sequence. That sequence is divided into m (m >= 1) approximately equal-sized intervals, and only the SNR PDFs from the n-th interval (1 <= n <= m) of the sequence will be constructed. Afterwards, the files generated by several jobs can be combined by re-invoking the program using the --seed or --seed-cache options to obtain the complete SNR PDF collection. The format of this option is "n/m", and the default is "1/1", which causes all SNR PDFs to be constructed. --horizon-distance-tolerance=ratio Set the fractional amount by which two horizon distances must differ for them to be considered distinct (optional). The default is 0.05, i.e., when two horizon distances differ by 5\% or more they are considered to be distinct, but less than that and they are considered to be equal. --horizon-distances=instrument=distance[,instrument=distance,...] Cache SNR PDFs for these instruments and horizon distances. Format is, e.g., H1=120,L1=120,V1=48. Units for distance are irrelevant (PDFs depend only on their ratios). A PDF will be constructed for every combination of --min-instruments or more instruments from the set. All --horizon-distances must list the same instruments (if an instrument is off set its horizon distance to 0). --horizon-distance-flow=Hz When obtaining horizon distances from a collection PSD files, start horizon distance integral at this frequency in Hertz (default = 10 Hz). --horizon-distance-masses=m1,m2 When obtaining horizon distances from a collection of PSD files, compute them for these masses in solar mass units (default = 1.4,1.4). Can be given multiple times. --instruments=name[,name,...] Set the instruments to include in the network. If PSD files alone are to be used to provide horizon distances, or --full is selected, then this option is required, otherwise it is optional. If both --instruments and --horizon-distances are given, they must list the same instruments. --min-instruments=count Set the minimum number of instruments required to form a candidate; can be given multiple times (default is 1 and 2). Note that the probability that a recovered signal is recovered by a given set of instruments depends on how many instruments are required to participate. The PDF cache must contain entries for every value of this parameter one will use to conduct searches. -o filename, --output=filename Write SNR PDF cache to this file (required). --seed=filename Seed the SNR PDF cache by loading pre-computed SNR PDFs from this file. Can be given multiple times. --seed-cache=filename Seed the SNR PDF cache by loading pre-computed SNR PDFs from the files named in this LAL cache. -v, --verbose Be verbose.
