add mixture model over constellations
-
write a special case of RADecDistribution (called Constellation
) that is a top-hat for a given polygonal bounding box.- make sure this has an attribute which returns the area of the top-hat domain (in stradians? sqr deg?)
-
write an auto-declaration loop that iterates through constellations and declares a class for each (a subclass of Constellation
) -
write a mixture model over all Constellation
classes. Parameters are the probabilities of that constellation (note that larger constellations should have larger probabilities).- make the default behavior to compute mixing fractions so that the probability per sqr degree is uniform over the whole sky
