Numerical simulations in tunacell
¶
Using the script¶
When installed using pip, a tunasimu
executable is provided to run
numerical simulations and save results on local directories. These
files can be used to try tunacell
’s analysis tools.
Such a command comes with various parameters, that will printed upon call:
$ tunasimu -h
There is a list of (optional) parameters.
What are these simulations about?¶
ou
is the value of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck random process simulated
in each cell, int_ou
is the integrated value of the random process reset
to zero at each cell birth, exp_int_ou
is the exponential of the later
value. One can think of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck as instantaneous growth rate of
the cell, and thus exp_int_ou
can be associated to cell length.
