Monte Carlo studies

In order to understand how well the MCMC follow-up method works, we will test
its ability to succesfully identify simulated signals in Gaussian. This will be
its ability to succesfully identify simulated signals in Gaussian
noise
. This will be
done in a Monte Carlo study, with independent random realisations of the
Guassian noise, amplitude, and Doppler parameters in suitable ranges. Such a
method is analagous to the studies performed in

Before applying the directed follow-up to simulated signals in noise, we need
to characterise its behaviour in Gaussian noise alone. To do so, we simulate
$

search on these. A histogram of the results is provided in
