Running tupak with one line + gracedb
I was super impressed with the presentation at this week's OzGrav telecon. It also gave me an idea for what I think is an easy addition that I think will lower the entry point even further, and which will add wow factor to the next presentation.
I suggest that we take the 4-5 commands that Paul entered in the GW150914 example, and put them inside an additional wrapper, so that if you want to run on a LOSC event, you simply type one line saying something like:
tupak.analyze_real_data('GW150914')
The wrapper would be smart enough to choose the appropriate detectors associated with each trigger. It would call the sampler with the default priors. If we can reduce a few lines to one, I think it will make a big difference psychologically.
-
Build a wrapper that allows users to analyse LOSC events with a single command. -
If it is not already set up, add the ability to analyse data associated with a GraceDB ID. This is important for analysing triggers that have been identified by LIGO pipelines, but which have not yet been published to LOSC. I think this is a high-priority thing to add because it would allow us to establish a market share of the yet-to-be-published PE market.
