preferred event not changed unless new event FAR is lower than OPA threhold or preferred event FAR greater than OPA threshold

Deep Chatterjee requested to merge deep.chatterjee/gwcelery:change-preferred-event-logic into master

Following S190421ar, there is a corner case where a candidate from a pipeline can have a high SNR along with a FAR > OPA threshold to incorrectly become the preferred event.

@erik-katsavounidis mentioned certain ideas in his email

This merge request refactors the condition for making an event public into the superevents module. The selection of preferred event now follows:

  • Publishing criterion as the foremost condition
  • Then CBC precedes over Burst
  • Finally the SNR/FAR for CBC/Burst will break a tie
