Sanity checks for user settings

Open SoFiA-Admin opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

It would be useful to implement a range of additional sanity checks of user-supplied parameter settings at the start of the pipeline and print a warning message if potentially non-optimal settings are encountered. This could guide less experienced users to pick more appropriate settings.

List of settings we could consider checking:

  • Noise scaling window size
  • S+C spatial filter sizes relative to beam size
  • S+C spectral filter sizes relative to velocity resolution
  • S+C threshold
  • Threshold finder and S+C both enabled?
  • Linker radii and size thresholds
  • Reliability threshold too high?
  • Reliability minPixels and minSNR

Please feel free to suggest additional checks.
