Create a large number of random field regions #288

Closed Gabriel-p closed 6 months ago

Gabriel-p commented 8 years ago

Currently the field regions are generated in a spiral around the cluster region. The limit is the size of the field around the cluster region, which determines how many field regions can be defined.

A different approach would be to define random field regions as done in Angelo et al. 2016.

A way to do this with ASteCA would be to randomly select field bins until de area of the cluster is matched. This would allow to define a lot more field regions, since a single bin can be reused many times.

Not sure about the statistical implications of this method though.
