Likelihood analysis and related tools
This page and its children are intended for notes about likelihood analysis and the related science tools.
- Here is a link to the current workbook version of the tutorial
- There is now also a guide to the interactive use of Likelihood from the Python prompt
- Here is a tutorial for binned likelihood analysis
Previous tests of the method
Test performed by J. Ballet in the framework of the catalog group:
- Obssim2 simulation (September 2007): the latest plots are at the end.
- Test patterns (December 2007): the first plot shows the flux restitution in that simulation.
- Bright sources in obssim2 (February 2008): the end of the report shows how the spectral modeling of bright sources influences fainter sources nearby.
- LEO simulation (March 2008): the end of the report shows biases due to the imperfect background modeling.
I have not tried to go before September 2007. Even that may not be fully representative of what the code does now.
