... Posts tagged ?parameter estimation? ... Leccardi & Molendi (2007) have a paper in A&A ( astro-ph/0705.4199 ) discussing the biases in parameter estimation when spectral fitting is confronted with low counts data. Not surprisingly, they find that the bias is higher for lower counts, for standard chisq compared to C-stat, for grouped data compared to ungrouped. ...
