pint.simulation.make_fake_toas
- pint.simulation.make_fake_toas(ts: TOAs, model: TimingModel, add_noise: bool = False, add_correlated_noise: bool = False, name: str = 'fake', subtract_mean: bool = True) TOAs[source]
Make toas from an array of times
Can include alternating frequencies if fed an array of frequencies, only works with one observatory at a time
- Parameters:
ts (pint.toa.TOAs) – Input TOAs to match
model (pint.models.timing_model.TimingModel) – current model
add_noise (bool, optional) – Add noise to the TOAs (otherwise error just populates the column)
add_correlated_noise (bool, optional) – Add correlated noise to the TOAs if it’s present in the timing mode.
name (str, optional) – Name for the TOAs (goes into the flags)
subtract_mean (bool, optional) – Controls whether mean will be subtracted from the residuals when making fake TOAs
- Returns:
TOAs – object with toas matching toas but with residuals starting at zero (but then with optional noise)
- Return type:
Notes
add_noise respects any
