Next: Star Formation Rate and Up: No Title Previous: Calculation of Evolutionary Tracks . To start calculations, we choose the distributions of the initial binary parameters: the mass of the primary ZAMS component, , binary mass ratio, , orbital separation a . ... whereas the mass ratio distribution is not. ... The zero assumption often made is that the mass ratio distribution has a flat shape, that is binaries with a high mass ratio occur as frequently as those with equal masses. ...

... 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 properties of an ensemble of faint galaxies can be defined by the distribution of the parameters of the models that best fit each individual object. ... The model also includes instrumental parameters, such as the sky background (estimated locally) and amplitude of the noise. ... The probability of the observed value is then computed for each pixel using the adopted error distribution. ...
