dd_circle

Semi-circle distribution

Syntax

info = dd_circle()
P = dd_circle(r,param)
Parameters
  • r - Distance axis (N-array)
  • param - Model parameters
Returns
  • P - Distance distribution (N-array)
  • info - Model information (struct)

Model

This provides a semi-circle distribution, defined by P(r) = 2\pi\sqrt{(r-r_0)^2/R^2+1} for r_0-R\le r\le r_0+R and zero otherwise.

Variable Symbol Default Lower bound Upper bound Description
param(1) r_0 3.0 0.1 20 center
param(2) R 0.5 0.1 5 radius

Description

info = dd_circle()

Returns an info structure containing the specifics of the model:

  • info.model - Full name of the parametric model.
  • info.nparam - Total number of adjustable parameters.
  • info.parameters - Structure array with information on individual parameters.
P = dd_circle(r,[3 0.5]])

Computes the distance distribution model P from the axis r according to the parameters array param. The required parameters can also be found in the info structure.
