plot_bkg_chisqr

Context: plotting

Synopsis

Plot the chi-squared value for each point of the background of a PHA data set.

Syntax

plot_bkg_chisqr(id=None, bkg_id=None, replot=False, overplot=False,
clearwindow=True, **kwargs)

id - int or str, optional
bkg_id - int or str, optional
replot - bool, optional
overplot - bool, optional
clearwindow - bool, optional

Description

Display the square of the residuals (data-model) divided by the error values for the background of a PHA data set when it is being fit, rather than subtracted from the source.


Examples

Example 1

>>> plot_bkg_chisqr()

Example 2

>>> plot_bkg_chisqr('jet', bkg_id=1)
>>> plot_bkg_chisqr('jet', bkg_id=2, overplot=True)

PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

Parameter Definition
id The data set that provides the data. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` .
bkg_id Identify the background component to use, if there are multiple ones associated with the data set.
replot Set to True to use the values calculated by the last call to `plot_bkg_chisqr` . The default is False .
overplot If True then add the data to an existing plot, otherwise create a new plot. The default is False .
clearwindow Should the existing plot area be cleared before creating this new plot (e.g. for multi-panel plots)?
