satlas.utilities.utilities.generate_spectrum(spectrum, x, number_of_counts, nwalkers=100)[source]¶

Generates a model by random sampling from the provided HFSModel and range. The total number of counts for the generated spectrum is required.

Parameters:	spectrum (`HFSModel`) – An instance of class:.HFSModel, which gives the probability distribution from which the random samples are drawn. x (NumPy array) – NumPy array representing the bin centers for the spectrum. number_of_counts (int) – Parameter controlling the total number of counts in the spectrum. nwalkers (int, optional) – Number of walkers for the random sampling algorithm from emcee.
Returns:	y – Array containing the number of counts corresponding to each value in x.
Return type:	NumPy array
