NEST HelpDesk | Command Index | NEST Quick Reference

Name:

    gamma_sup_generator - simulate the superimposed spike train of a
      population of gamma process.

Description:

      The gamma_sup_generator generator simulates the pooled spike train of a
      population of neurons firing independently with gamma process statistics.

Parameters:

      The following parameters appear in the element's status dictionary:

      rate	 double	- mean firing rate of the component processes,
      default: 0s^-1
      gamma_shape  long  	- shape paramter of component gamma processes, default: 1
      n_proc	 long  	- number of superimposed independent component processes,
      default: 1

Remarks:

      The generator has been published in Deger, Helias, Boucsein, Rotter (2011)
      Statistical properties of superimposed stationary spike trains,
      Journal of Computational Neuroscience.
