Research tutorial inputs

From the repository root, in an installed PycWB environment:

python examples/tutorials/prepare.py
pycwb run tutorial-work/patch.yaml --work-dir tutorial-work/runs/patch

The preparation script creates a new directory and refuses to overwrite an existing one. Use --output another-directory for an independent experiment. It requires PyYAML, NumPy and healpy. Searches use the dependencies of examples/demo, including burst-waveform and a WDM cross-talk catalog. Inputs containing file references record their absolute locations; regenerate them after moving the exercise to a different machine.

Configurations share the demo's seeded noise, source and inexpensive sky grid. fixed, patch, offset, and custom vary only the search mask. hlv and custom_network add a detector with the same default analytic noise model; these are geometry experiments, not forecasts for actual instrument sensitivity. population has four separated signals of different amplitudes. gated enables time-veto diagnostics. bounded selects a resource-bounded execution profile. custom_waveform uses the local illustrative polarization generator.

open_data requires pycwb gwosc-data tutorial-work/open_data.yaml --work-dir tutorial-work before running. background reuses those frames with a few nonzero time slides. This is a small educational background, not an estimate of a published event's significance.

See the documentation's Tutorials section for the exercises and interpretation.
