Next: Inspection of results Up: *fit* - Fit Data Previous: Verbose Mode . If the number of net counts for a source is less than it is impractical to fit the data in all 34 energy bits. However, if the flux is required, then a fit must be performed first. ... Fit will then calculate the normalization of the model and xflux can be used to determine the flux and luminosity of the source from the best fit model. xs> fit rebin=yes . ...

... A number of different statistical methods are used for estimating parameters from a data set. The most commonly used one is the least squares method which estimates a parameter by minimizing the function : . where y is the dependent and x the independent variables while f is a given function. ... The most important assumptions are that the errors in the dependent variable are normal distributed, the variance is homogeneous, and the independent variables have no errors and are uncorrelated. ...

... The particular variables it is concerned with are tick , which is the number of microseconds added to the system time during a clock interrupt, tickadj , which sets the slew rate and resolution used by the adjtime system call, and dosynctodr , which indicates to the kernels on some machines whether they should internally adjust the system clock to keep it in line with time-of-day clock or not. ... Set the kernel variable tickadj to an internally computed "optimal" value. -t tick . ...

To set a number of options place the set commands in the file .exrc . set ic set number set sh=/usr/local/bin/Tcsh set wm=5 .

... August was noteworthy by having the least number of hours of bright sunshine for at least 128 years, that is, since sunshine records began at the Observatory in 1880. ... The month was also exceptionally wet, with rainfall totaling 151.4mm (5.96 inches), nearly twice the average figure (around 81 mm) for August and the seventh wettest August at Armagh since rainfall records began at the Observatory in 1838. In order to find a wetter August we have to go back 52 years, to August 1956. ...

... 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. ...
