Fstatistic Search Applications

Detailed Description

Files
file	ComputeFstatistic_v2.c
	Calculate the F-statistic for a given parameter-space of pulsar GW signals. Implements the so-called "F-statistic" as introduced in [9] .
file	ComputeFstatLatticeCount.c
	Count number of templates in a given lattice tiling.
file	ComputeFstatMCUpperLimit.c
	Computes an upper limit using Monte Carlo integration of the analytic F statistic signal model.
file	PredictFstat.c
	Calculate the expected (multi-IFO) F-statistic for pulsar GW signals, without actually performing a search. The "F-statistic" was introduced in [9] and Cutler-Schutz 2005. Contrary to SemiAnalyticF this code can use (multi-IFO) SFTs to specify the startTime, duration, detectors and noise-floors to use in the estimation.
file	synthesizeBstatMC.c
	Generate N samples of B-statistic (and F-statistic) values drawn from their respective distributions, assuming Gaussian noise, for given signal parameters.
file	synthesizeLVStats.c
	Generate N samples of various statistics (F-stat, BSGL,...) drawn from their respective distributions, assuming Gaussian noise, and drawing signal params from their (given) priors.
file	synthesizeTransientStats.c
	Generate N samples of various statistics (F-stat, B-stat,...) drawn from their respective distributions, assuming Gaussian noise, and drawing signal params from their (given) priors.
file	FstatMetric_v2.c
	This module deals with calculating various F-statistic metric approximations, Fisher matrices and mismatches. Contrary to previous implementations this consistently uses gsl-integration, and allows for very generic handling of different coordinate systems in the Doppler parameter space.
