Synopsis
Return the fit statisic.
Syntax
get_stat(name=None) name - str, optional
Examples
Example 1
Return the currently-selected statistic, display its name, and read the help documentation for it:
>>> stat = get_stat() >>> stat.name 'chi2gehrels' >>> help(stat)
Example 2
Read the help for the "wstat" statistic:
>>> help(get_stat('wstat'))PARAMETERS
The parameter for this function is:
| Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
| name | If not given, the current fit statistic is returned, otherwise it should be one of the names returned by the `list_stats` function. |
Return value
The return value from this function is:
stat -- An object representing the fit statistic.
