Description

So far the npred() methods of GCTAModelAeffBackground, GCTAModelIrfBackground and GCTAModelBackground assume that the RoI centre is identical to the pointing direction. Although this may often be the case, the more general case of a different RoI centre should be covered. For now, an exception will be thrown in the pointing direction differs from the RoI centre.


Recurrence

No recurrence.

I modified the code so that RoI centres different from the pointing direction are supported. The classes that were modified are:
  • GCTAModelAeffBackground
  • GCTAModelIrfBackground
  • GCTAModelSpatial

Note that GCTAModelRadialAcceptance allowed already RoI centres differents from the pointing direction. I therefore wrote a script inst/cta/test/dev/test_background_npred.py that compares the npred computation for RoI centre different from the pointing direction between GCTAModelRadialAcceptance and GCTAModelSpatial models that are intrinsically identical. Within a relative precision of 1e-4, the results were indeed identical.
