Create a State object with default or best-fit parameters.

Initializes a State with parameters appropriate for FRB z-DM analysis. Parameter values depend on the chosen alpha_method.

Parameters:
  • alpha_method (int, optional) – Method for handling spectral index alpha. 0: Spectral index interpretation with k-correction. 1: Rate interpretation with (1+z)^alpha evolution (default).

  • cosmo (astropy.cosmology.Cosmology, optional) – Astropy cosmology to use. Default is Planck18.

Returns:

Initialized State object with all parameters set.

Return type:
