In a linear problem, if the errors on the observations have a gaussian distribution, the ``Maximum Likelihood Principle'' gives you the ``best estimate'' of the parameters as the solution of the so-called ``Least Squares Minimization'' that follows: . ... A certain number of numerical methods have been developed to solve the non--linear least squares problem, four have so far been implemented in MIDAS. ...

. Intervals of available data are coded by blue color. To read availability charts user should know the descriptor ("name") of the KP subset of interest. Table annotations include also number of version for each subset. Plot resolution is exactly one pixel per hour. Data are considered as available if at least one data point is present during that hour.

... This section will deal with obtaining photons within specified regions of an image. Available regions are: Annulus Box Circle Ellipse Field -- entire field Irregular region based on intensity of map... i.e. region defined by contour levels. ... The imcnts task in the xray-spatial package sums the source and background counts in specified regions, and subtracts one from the other properly normalized. ... imcnts* - Find counts in an extended region, after removing an embedded point source . ...

... Obviously, the size of the cavern is of the order of the Schwartzman radius. ... Thus, consideration of the inverse effect of pulsar radiation on the properties of accreting plasma makes the ejection possible even when the Schwartzman radius is smaller than the capture radius. ...

... 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. ...
