Output Files

1. A FITS dataset which is a merger of all the lists of detected sources mentioned in item 3 of the `input files' section.

2. A FITS dataset which contains histograms relating to biases in positions and fluxes (and their errors) of detected sources. The structure is described in section 2.2.

3. A FITS dataset which contains histograms relating to the completeness of the list of detected sources - ie, what fraction of the simulated sources were detected. The structure of this file is described in section 2.3.

4. A FITS dataset which contains histograms relating to reliability of the source detections - ie, what fraction of the detections can be ascribed to background fluctuations. The structure of this file is described in section 2.4.
