gcfit.probabilities.likelihood_pm_R

gcfit.probabilities.likelihood_pm_R(model, pm, *, mass_bin=None, hyperparams=False)

Compute the loglikelihood of the cluster radial proper motion.

Computes the log likelihood component of a cluster’s proper motion dispersion profile for the radial proper motion, in relation to the cluster centre, assuming a gaussian likelihood.

Parameters:

modelgcfit.FittableModel

Cluster model used to compute probability distribution.

pmgcfit.core.data.Dataset

Proper motion dispersions profile dataset used to compute probability distribution and evaluate log likelihood.

mass_binint, optional

Index of model.mj mass bin to use in all calculations. If None (default), attempts to read ‘m’ from pulsars.mdata, else uses largest of the main sequence bins, given by model.nms.

hyperparamsbool, optional

Whether to include bayesian hyperparameters.

Returns:

float

Log likelihood value.
