      Description

      Created on 2023-10-18 09:54:53 by Didier Vibert. % Done: 0

      There is a coded zprior that penalize the redshifts for which the solution contains less than 2 lines above SNR 3.5

      This prior is not activated (hard coded) and has no dedicated parameter in the parameters.json (like the other z priors activation and strength) .

      Shall we enable it and add the corresponding parameter, or remove the lines of code ?

      According to me this is not strictly a "prior" in the sense that is based on observations, ie model fitting of the data. The likelihood (least-square term) of the posterior is supposed to handle all the attachment to the data term, where as the prior should only contain a priori information on the parameters...

      Nevertheless, even is the term "prior" is improper, we may find that it is useful to enhance z solutions where lines are strong enough. This is more an ad hoc modification of the likelihood.
