Usage

Overview

This recipe is used to test the mos_montecarlo_polyfit() function.

It accepts a table with columns x, y, y_err, derives the best polynomial fit y = p(x), and produces a table with the polynomial 1-sigma accuracy on the given set of x coordinates.

Input files:

DO category: Type: Explanation: Required:
TABLE Raw Table to evaluate Y

Output files:

DO category: Data type: Explanation:
MODEL_ERROR FITS image Model error at different x

Options

--x <str>

Name of independent variable column (str; default: ´x´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.montecarlo.x [default = x].

--y <str>

Name of dependent variable column (str; default: ´y´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.montecarlo.y [default = y].

--sigma <str>

Name of error column on dependent variable (str; default: ´´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.montecarlo.sigma [default = ].

--order <long>

Order of fitting polynomial (long; default: 1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.montecarlo.order [default = 1].

--zero <float>

Origin of x for fit (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.montecarlo.zero [default = 0.0].

--start <float>

Start x for evaluation (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.montecarlo.start [default = 0.0].

--end <float>

End x for evaluation (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.montecarlo.end [default = 0.0].

--step <float>

x sampling interval (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.montecarlo.step [default = 0.0].

--trials <long>

Size of statistical sample (long; default: 100). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.montecarlo.trials [default = 100].

Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command.
