PS1QLS Forecast #23

Open mbaumer opened 9 years ago

OM10.select_random() gives a number of lenses that we have any prayer of seeing in PS1 (=N).

Our painting and positioning scripts that produce our training set have a selection function that limits the number of lenses we're going to be able to find. (A = % accepted into training set)

Finally, our algorithms will only be able to actually find some subset of our training set at reasonable purity (B = % recovered).

These three factors can be multiplied together to determine an estimate of the number of lenses we should be able to discover with our PS1 search.
