Command: gamma_sup_generator

NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference

Name:
 gamma_sup_generator - simulate the superimposed spike train of a population of gamma process.
Description:

  The gamma_sup_generator generator simulates the pooled spike train of a 
  population of neurons firing independently with gamma process statistics.
Parameters:
   The following parameters appear in the element's status dictionary:

   rate - mean firing rate of the component processes. (double, var)
   gamma_shape - shape paramter of component gamma processes. (long, var)
   n_proc - number of superimposed independent component processes. (long, var)

Note:
   The generator has been published in Deger, Helias, Boucsein, Rotter (2011) 
   Statistical properties of superimposed stationary spike trains, 
   Journal of Computational Neuroscience.
