Detailed Description

template<unsigned DIM>
class RandomCellKiller< DIM >

A cell killer that randomly kills cells based on the user set probability.

The probability passed into the constructor will be the probability of any cell dying whenever CheckAndLabelCellsForApoptosis() is called.

Note this does take into account time steps - the input probability is the probability that in an hour's worth of trying, the cell killer will have successfully killed a given cell. In the method CheckAndLabelSingleCellForApoptosis() this probability is used to calculate the probability that the cell is killed at a given time step.

We assume a constant time step and that there are an integer number (n = 1/dt) of time steps per hour. We also assume that this method is called every time step and that the probabilities of dying at different times are independent.
