... 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. ...

... 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. ...

The galaxy extraction was made with a Discriminant Analysis based on seven parameters (peak intensity over area, Mean surface brightness, Peak intensity, Axis ratio, Relative surface object/matrix, Elongation of the matrix and Diffraction cross) and calibrated with a sample of 1146 DENIS objects visually classified as "galaxy", "star" or "unknown". A visual inspection of every galaxy candidate was made on the matrix of pixels. ...

... First, we computed the mean errors of orbit parameters on the assumption of the linear connection of them with observation errors and then we compared obtained estimates with those resulting from the assumption of the nonlinearity of this connection. Secondly, we correlate orbital parameters and their errors obtained by the method of the least modulus with those obtained by the least-squares method. ...
