bottom line

there is now a way to include calibration uncertainty in astrophysical data analysis in a flexible way for any instrument, mission, or detector.


Part I calibration uncertainty in data analysis Part II practical issues of storage, retrieval, flexibility


The three most important effects that affect data analysis

astrophysical model uncertainty statistical uncertainty (measurement error) calibration uncertainty (systematic error)


examples of calibration uncertainty

what have we got so far? · · · · · · · · · realistic error bars implemented in BLoCXS 500x speed up in analysis Sherpa on the way unified file format for use in XSPEC/Sherpa 100x drop in storage generalize to any instrument extendable to model lacunae roll your own


s u m m a ry
there are a number of steps between a calibration scientist saying "the error on the effective area is X% at energy Y" to then have it fold into a spectral model fit and inflate the error bars on the parameters, and we believe that we have connected the dots.


uncertainty in energy response


one more thing..


what's next?

unified file format implemented in XSPEC/Sherpa other schemes of dimensionality reduction RMFs: 2D PCA, within and between PCA PSFs: multiscale residuals
