Explanation

The likelihood of a strong lensing time-delay system as
modelled in http://arxiv.org/pdf/1306.4732v2.pdf
and http://arxiv.org/pdf/0910.2773v2.pdf

##Parameters

These parameters can be set in the module's section in the ini parameter file.
If no default is specified then the parameter is required.

Parameter Description
lens_name String, default='None'; name of lens to use. B1608 and RXJ1131 are accepted, if 'None', user must set remaining parameter manually
z_d Real, only if lens_name='None'. Distance to the lens
z_s Real, only if lens_name='None'. Distance to the source
lambda_d Real, only if lens_name='None'. See 0910.2773v2 equation 5
mu_d Real, only if lens_name='None'. See 0910.2773v2 equation 5
sigma_d Real, only if lens_name='None'. See 0910.2773v2 equation 5
name String, Name for the strong lens

##Inputs

These parameters and data are inputs to the module, either supplied as parameters by the sampler or computed by some previous module. They are loaded from the data block.

Section Parameter Description
distances z 1D real array, redshifts of samples
d_m 1D real array, co-moving distance in Mpc
cosmological_parameters omega_k real, curvature density fraction today (default 0.0)
hubble real, hubble parameter H0 (km/s/Mpc)

##Outputs

These parameters and data are computed as outputs from the module

Section Parameter Description
likelihoods B1608_like Real, only if lens_name=B1608. Likelihood of B1608 system
RXJ1131_like Real, only if lens_name=RXJ1131. Likelihood of RXJ1131 system
name_like Real, general case, name from ini file. Likelihood of named system
