A Python Code for the Emmanoulopoulos et al. [arXiv:1305.0304] Light Curve Simulation Algorithm

Abstract

I have created, for public use, a Python code allowing the simulation of light curves with any given power spectral density and any probability density function, following the algorithm described in Emmanoulopoulos et al. 2013. The simulated products have exactly the same variability and statistical properties as the observed light curves. The code and its documentation are available at: https://github.com/samconnolly/DELightcurveSimulation Note that a Mathematica code of the algorithm is given in Emmanoulopoulos et al. [arXiv:1305.0304]
