Stochastic
gwmock_signal.stochastic
¶
Stochastic gravitational-wave background signal models.
StochasticBackgroundSimulator
¶
Bases: GWSimulator
Generate isotropic SGWB detector strain as a correlated Gaussian signal.
The simulator samples Fourier coefficients from a one-sided detector
covariance C_ij(f) = gamma_ij(f) S_h(f), where S_h(f) is derived
from a power-law Omega_GW spectrum. It returns signal-only strain by
default or adds the SGWB signal to an optional background mapping.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
duration
|
float
|
Signal duration in seconds. |
required |
seed
|
int | None
|
Optional random seed. |
None
|
overlap_reduction
|
OverlapReductionInput | None
|
Optional pairwise ORF arrays or callable. When omitted, the long-wavelength geometric ORF is used. |
None
|
regularization_epsilon
|
float
|
Positive diagonal regularization scale passed to the spectral Cholesky builder. |

long_wavelength_overlap_reduction(detectors, frequencies)
¶
Return frequency-independent tensor ORFs from detector response tensors.
This is the long-wavelength, co-located limit gamma_ij = 2 D_i : D_j.
It is a useful default for ET-style low-frequency studies and tests. For
separated detectors or paper-facing production datasets, pass explicit ORF
arrays to :class:~gwmock_signal.stochastic.StochasticBackgroundSimulator.

The stochastic module is split into small implementation files under
gwmock_signal.stochastic so additional SGWB models, ORF implementations, and
dataset utilities can be added without turning the simulator into a monolithic
module.
