Collection of tools designed to generate realizations of the Poisson point process.

The package is published to PyPI and can be installed with

pip install superposed-pulses

If you want the development version you must first clone the repo to your local machine, then install the project in development mode:

git clone https://github.com/uit-cosmo/superposed-pulses.git cd superposed-pulses pip install -e .

The simplest case, using defaults: exponential pulse shape, exponentially distributed amplitudes, constant duration times, write

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import superposedpulses.point_model as pm model = pm.PointModel(waiting_time=10.0, total_duration=100, dt=0.01) times, signal = model.make_realization() plt.plot(times, signal) plt.show()

Take a look at superposed-pulses/superposedpulses/example.py to find out how to change amplitudes, waiting times, duration times and the pulse shape of the process.
