cstsmapsplit

Generate commands to split the Test Statistic map computation.

Synopsis

This script generates a sequence of commands to split the Test Statistic (TS) map computation into a distinct number of :ref:`cttsmap` computations. The sequence of commands is written into an ASCII file, where each line in the file corresponds to the command for an individual :ref:`cttsmap` run. Each TS map computed in that way will be suffixed with the command number, and the map can be combined into a single TS map using the :ref:`cstsmapmerge` script.

General parameters

inobs [file]
Input event list, counts cube or observation definition XML file.
inmodel [file]
Input model XML file.
srcname [string]
Name of source model for which the TS map should be computed.
expcube [file]
Input exposure cube file.
psfcube [file]
Input PSF cube file.
edispcube [file]
Input energy dispersion cube file.
bkgcube [file]
Input background cube file.
caldb [string]
Calibration database.
irf [string]
Instrumental response function.
(edisp = no) [boolean]
Applies energy dispersion to response computation?
(errors = no) [boolean]
Compute and store parameter errors?
(statistic = DEFAULT) <DEFAULT|CSTAT|WSTAT|CHI2> [string]
Optimization statistic. DEFAULT uses the default statistic for all observations, which is CSTAT or the statistic specified in the observation definition XML file. CSTAT uses the C statistic for all observations, WSTAT uses the W statistic for all On/Off observations, and CHI2 uses the Chi squared statistic for all binned or stacked observations.
outmap [file]
Output Test Statistic map file.
bins_per_job [integer]
Number of bins of the TS map that should be computed within one command.
compute_null [boolean]
Pre-computes the null hypothesis globally and passes the value to the individual commands. If the parameter is set to no, the null hypothesis will be computed in each run of :ref:`cttsmap` individually.
(run_in_bkg = yes) [boolean]
Append a & after each command in output file to simply execute the file by running all :ref:`cttsmap` jobs in the background.
outfile [file]
Output ASCII file name where the commands are written to.
(usepnt = no) [boolean]
Use CTA pointing direction for map centre instead of xref/yref parameters?
nxpix [integer]
Number of map pixels in Right Ascension or Galactic longitude.
nypix [integer]
Number of map pixels in Declination or Galactic latitude.
binsz [real]
Map pixel size (in degrees/pixel).
coordsys <CEL|GAL> [string]
Coordinate system (CEL - celestial, GAL - galactic).
proj <AIT|AZP|CAR|GLS|MER|MOL|SFL|SIN|STG|TAN> [string]
Projection method.
xref [real]
Right Ascension / Galactic longitude of map centre (J2000, in degrees).
yref [real]
Declination / Galactic latitude of map centre (J2000, in degrees).

Standard parameters

(chatter = 2) [integer]
Verbosity of the executable:

chatter = 0: no information will be logged

chatter = 1: only errors will be logged

chatter = 2: errors and actions will be logged

chatter = 3: report about the task execution

chatter = 4: detailed report about the task execution

(clobber = yes) [boolean]
Specifies whether an existing output TS map file should be overwritten.
(debug = no) [boolean]
Enables debug mode. In debug mode the executable will dump any log file output to the console.
(mode = ql) [string]
Mode of automatic parameters (default is ql, i.e. "query and learn").
(logfile = cstsmapsplit.log) [string]
Name of log file.
