Table 3.
Range of different parameters and power indexes used in MC simulation.
| Parameter | Power law | Parameter range | Power index | Index range | Step |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P (d) | f(P)∝Pπ | 1–1000 | π | −2.50–2.50 | 0.1 |
| q | f(q)∝qγ | 0.1–1.0 | γ | −4–1.00* | 0.1 |
 |
– | – | – | 0.20–1.00 | 0.04 |
Notes.
The column Power Index shows π and γ, the power index of P (orbital period) and q (mass ratio), respectively. 
is the binary fraction for simulation. The ranges of P and q are shown in the column Parameter Range, while the ranges of the power index are shown in the column Index Range. The last row gives the step of each power index. As for stars in group O-B3, the range of γ is −2.5–2.50 since earlier types are assumed to have slightly larger values (Sana et al. 2013; Dunstall et al. 2015).
