**Attendance:** 

Abhirup, Anuradha Samajdar, Anuradha Gupta, Arun, Chandra, Nathan, Krishnendu, Saleem

**Action items:**

- Abhirup: Look into if statements of lalinference/src/LALInferenceTemplate.c
- Abhirup: Add comments on the code to the git record
- Krisnendu and Saleem: Generalise code to 4-parameter structure
- Krisnendu and Saleem: Generalise priors to include gravastar scenarios
- Krisnendu and Saleem: Include an error message if more than 2 of the 4 parameters are specified to sample over

**Minutes:**

- Code currently sampling over kappa_s, while fixing kappa_a. Discussion over generalising the code and then holding parameters during recovery, if required.

- Action items will be taken care of, and there will be another code review call before deciding PE cases.

- Next meeting on 2PM UTC, 14th June 2019.

<15:02:57> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": FYI, I could build the branch without any problem
<15:05:15> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": i did not understand this
<15:06:05> "Krishnendu": Yes
<15:06:52> "chandra": what are those context? is there a simpler answer?
<15:07:29> "Saleem": @ Chandra , I was commenting in general, will look into and get back
<15:09:09> "Anuradha Gupta": I forgot to mention in th ebegining: anybody up to minutes?
<15:10:04> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": okay.
<15:10:25> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": hand up
<15:11:53> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": i can take minutes
<15:11:55> "Saleem": I can
<15:11:59> "Saleem": okay
<15:12:13> "Saleem": Abhirup go ahead
<15:12:20> "chandra": hand up
<15:12:49> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": wait. which comment is this?
<15:13:02> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": can we finish the earlier discussion first.
<15:15:17> "K G Arun": hand up
<15:16:52> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": hand up
<15:17:40> "K G Arun": I completely agree with Abhirup.
<15:17:48> "Saleem": hand up
<15:17:56> "Anuradha Gupta": +1 Abhirup
<15:18:35> "Krishnendu": That we have already done.
<15:18:46> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": you could just use --fix-param
<15:18:54> "Krishnendu": Yea, true.
<15:20:24> "Saleem": hand up (reply toAbhirup)
<15:20:43> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": could you take this up as an action item then?
<15:20:50> "Krishnendu": Sure
<15:21:44> "Krishnendu": So, can I modify the same branch?
<15:21:58> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": i agree. i had a point there.
<15:24:17> "Anuradha Gupta": yeah, sure
<15:26:25> "Krishnendu": Yes
<15:27:52> "Saleem": I think we don't need Kappa1 and kappa2 sampling option since they can be derived from others
<15:30:14> "K G Arun": hand up
<15:31:14> "Krishnendu": Okay
<15:31:33> "Saleem": But there is case of sampling 4 at a time
<15:31:40> "K G Arun": Yes.
<15:31:49> "Saleem": * there is no case of
<15:32:59> "Krishnendu": Hand up
<15:33:00> "Anuradha Gupta": hand up
<15:33:31> "chandra": hand up
<15:34:48> "Krishnendu": Yes
<15:34:52> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": okay. then i am happy.
<15:34:55> "chandra": hand down
<15:35:27> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": hand up.
<15:37:26> "Anuradha Gupta": hand up
<15:37:43> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": exactly
<15:37:55> "Saleem": agree
<15:37:57> "Nathan Johnson-McDaniel": Presumably something like this must already be done for the tidal parameters.
<15:38:08> "A. Samajdar": sorry i got a bit distracted but I think we can just put an XLAL_WARNING at the lalinference level in the InitCBC file for instance
<15:38:44> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": be careful with the error code, such that the code does not crash but rather just jumps over the crashed point
<15:38:49> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": EDOM vs EFUNC
<15:39:07> "chandra": moreover is it the case now?
<15:39:21> "chandra": sampling over kappa_s only?
<15:39:27> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": hand up
<15:39:43> "Krishnendu": hand up
<15:39:58> "K G Arun": ok
<15:40:16> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": sampling over Ks, not Ka
<15:40:30> "chandra": okay
<15:40:51> "Krishnendu": hand down
<15:41:48> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": yes, i have
<15:42:49> "chandra": yes
<15:43:46> "K G Arun": yes
<15:44:02> "Krishnendu": No
<15:44:55> "A. Samajdar": i have to leave now, sorry about that. thanks all.
<15:45:01> "Krishnendu": Yes
<15:45:12> "Krishnendu": True
<15:48:01> "Krishnendu": Okay, I see.
<15:49:45> "Krishnendu": Ok, fine.
<15:50:02> "Krishnendu": I will do this change.
<15:50:15> "Krishnendu": True
<15:50:17> "Anuradha Gupta": hand up
<15:54:33> "Krishnendu": Sure
<15:55:24> "Krishnendu": I can add that.
<15:55:29> "Krishnendu": Yes, that is true
<15:56:13> "Krishnendu": Okay.
<15:56:20> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": no
<15:56:29> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": i think they are fine
<15:57:12> "Abhirup Ghosh [h]": yes.
<15:57:21> "Krishnendu": I think it is fine.
<15:57:50> "Krishnendu": Okay, thank you!
<15:57:54> "Saleem": thanks
<15:57:54> "K G Arun": Thanks a lot! Bye!
<15:57:57> "chandra": thanks, bye
