		| Abstract: | 
		MEqTrees is a Python-based implementation of the classical Measurement Equation, wherein the various 2 × 2 Jones matrices are parametrized representations in the spatial and sky domains for any generic radio telescope. Customized simulations of radio-source sky models and corrupt Jones terms are demonstrated based on a policy framework, with performance estimates derived for array configurations, “dirty”-map residuals and processing power requirements for such computations on conventional platforms. |
