Is Your Software Development Life Cycle Using Simulations?
We do run a number of simulations to make sure that the pipelines are operating as expected. And we do this during the actual analyses themselves. By including these simulations we can estimate how sensitive our pipeline is. We can estimate how many things we might expect to see in the true data. It just lets us know if anything's going awry, if we've lost any type of sensitivity to some part of the parameter space or not. A number of really bright graduate students have added this capability to a lot of our monitoring software in low latency. So now we're doing the same thing there where we have these fake signals inside of one of the data streams and low latency. And we're able
