PREDICT operation

The PREDICT operation runs DPPP to preform the prediction of the visibility data.

Note

The PREDICT step should be done after all corruption operations but before a NOISE operation. PREDICT will overwrite any existing data in the output column.

Parameters

The following parameters are available for this operation:

outputColumn

This parameter is a string (default is 'DATA') that sets the column name to which the predicted visibilities are written.

predictType

This parameter is a string (default is 'h5parmpredict') that sets the type of prediction done. Use 'h5parmpredict' for normal prediction and 'predict' to predict without direction-dependent corruptions.

resetWeights

This parameter is a boolean (default is True) that sets whether to reset the entries in the WEIGHT_SPECTRUM column.
