sampleBinStar: Sample a set of binary systems out of a grid

In SCEPtERbinary: Stellar CharactEristics Pisa Estimation gRid for Binary Systems

Description

The function extracts, without replacement, a sample of binary systems out of a grid.

Usage

    sampleBinStar(n, grid, block, restrict=TRUE, parallel=FALSE)
     

Arguments

n	the number of objects to be sampled.
grid	the grid from which the objects are sampled.
block	the length of blocks of the same initial metallicity [Fe/H]
restrict	logical flag indicating if only models younger than 14 Gyr should be considered.
parallel	logical flag indicating if the estimations should be performed in parallel on a multi-core architecture.

Value

sampleBinStar returns a matrix of n rows, sampled without replacement from grid. A maximum age difference of 10 Myr is allowed in the binary system selection.

Examples

require(SCEPtER)
data(stdGrid)

bl <- block(stdGrid)
sam <- sampleBinStar(10, stdGrid, bl, restrict=TRUE)
