... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...

... All the parameters provided in this database have been obtained using the the MIRIAD ( Sault et al. 1995 ) task MBSPECT . MBSPECT makes a spectrum of the velocity (or frequency) axis of a cube. The spectrum is beam-weighted, over the width specified, for the other image axes. ... Robust parameters are calculated by using an algorithm which minimises the mean absolute deviation of the flux-weighted velocities. mask= This specifies the x-axis ranges to be excluded from any continuum fit. ...
