Parameters

This section documents the parameters recognized by this task (if any).

Parameter	Mand	Type	Default	Constraints
entrystage	no	string	merge	merge-bias-completeness-reliability
This allows the user to enter the eimsimreduce script at one of several places in its processing sequence.
finalstage	no	string	reliability	merge-bias-completeness-reliability
This allows the user to exit the eimsimreduce script at one of several places in its processing sequence.
simgensubdir	no	string	sim_generic
The task writes non-observation-specific output to this directory.
srcspecset	no	dataset	srcspec.fits
This is the name of a FITS dataset which contains specification of the source probability distributions and also band-related specifications. See the `input files' sections of the eimsimprep and eimsim documents for a detailed description. Example files can be found in $SAS_DIR/lib/data/eimsimdata/ .
biashistobinsize	no	real	0.1
The size (in log10(x)) of the X-axis of the histogram created by eimsimbias. This X axis is log10($S$) where $S$ is flux in CGS units.
comphistobinsize	no	real	0.1
The size (in log10(x)) of the X-axis of the histogram created by eimsimcompleteness. This X axis is log10($S$) where $S$ is flux in CGS units.
relhistobinsize	no	real	0.1
The size (in log10(x)) of the X-axis of the histogram created by eimsimreliability. This X axis is log10( $P_\mathrm{null}$) where $P_\mathrm{null}$ = ln(DET_ML).
probcutoff	no	real	0.05
Detections which have values of MATCH_PNULL which are lower than this cutoff are (subject to some correction for statistical bias in their numbers) are considered for statistical purposes to be `genuine' detections.
astest	no	bool	no
If `yes', no tasks are called.
