Original three-dataset framework#

Warning

This page is a stub generated by Codex. The content has been verified, but important information (references, links to external packages) may be missing

The current multidimensional GP models support an arbitrary number of datasets and heterogeneous cadences. PyORBIT also keeps the older Rajpaul-style framework, where the model is built from exactly three synchronous datasets: radial velocities, one chromospheric activity indicator, and BIS.

This model is mainly retained for reproducibility of older analyses. For new analyses, the multidimensional models described in the quasi-periodic kernel page are usually more flexible.

Model definition and requirements#

model name: gp_framework_quasiperiodic

  • required common object: activity

  • expects three datasets with the same times and length

  • supported dataset roles: RV, one of H-alpha, S_index, or Ca_HK, and BIS

model name: gp_pyaneti_quasiperiodic

  • required common object: activity

  • multidimensional quasi-periodic model using the pyaneti backend

  • supports the same dataset coefficient notation as the newer multidimensional models

Keywords#

Model-wide keywords, with the default value in boldface.

hyperparameters_condition

  • accepted values: True | False

  • activates the quasi-periodic hyperparameter condition described in the quasi-periodic kernel.

rotation_decay_condition

  • accepted values: True | False

  • if activated, requires Pdec > 2 Prot.

use_stellar_rotation_period

  • accepted values: True | False

  • replaces Prot with rotation_period from star_parameters.

use_stellar_activity_decay

  • accepted values: True | False

  • replaces Pdec with activity_decay from star_parameters.

derivative

  • accepted values: mapping of dataset names to booleans

  • available for gp_pyaneti_quasiperiodic. If False, the derivative coefficient rot_amp is fixed to zero for that dataset.
