1.2.3 LatticeMismatchHist()

LatticeMismatchHist() generates theoretical mismatch histograms, assuming a continuous gravitational-wave search grid is constructed using a particular lattice. Common lattices are the A-n-star lattices:

octave> Ans2 = LatticeMismatchHist(2, "Ans");
octave> Ans3 = LatticeMismatchHist(3, "Ans");
octave> Ans4 = LatticeMismatchHist(4, "Ans");

and the hypercubic lattices:

octave> Zn2 = LatticeMismatchHist(2, "Zn");
octave> Zn3 = LatticeMismatchHist(3, "Zn");
octave> Zn4 = LatticeMismatchHist(4, "Zn");

Their mismatch histograms are plotted below:

octave> graphics_toolkit gnuplot;
octave> plotHist(Ans2, "r;A-n-star;", Ans3, "r", Ans4, "r", Zn2, "b;hypercubic;", Zn3, "b", Zn4, "b");
octave> xlabel("Normalised Mismatch");
octave> ylabel("p(Normalised Mismatch)");
octave> ezprint("LatticeMismatchHist-plot-1.png", "width", 180, "fontsize", 6);
