StatInfoResults

class sherpa.fit.StatInfoResults(statname, statval, numpoints, model, dof, qval=None, rstat=None)[source] [edit on github]

Bases: NoNewAttributesAfterInit

A summary of the current statistic value for one or more data sets.

name

The name of the data set, or sets.

Type:

str

ids

The data set ids (it may be a tuple or array) included in the results.

Type:

sequence of int or str

bkg_ids

The background data set ids (it may be a tuple or array) included in the results, if any.

Type:

sequence of int or str, or None

statname

The name of the statistic function.

Type:

str

statval

The statistic value.

Type:

number

numpoints

The number of bins used in the fits.

Type:

int

dof

The number of degrees of freedom in the fit (the number of bins minus the number of free parameters).

Type:

int

qval

The Q-value (probability) that one would observe the reduced statistic value, or a larger value, if the assumed model is true and the current model parameters are the true parameter values. This will be None if the value can not be calculated with the current statistic (e.g. the Cash statistic).

Type:

number or None

rstat

The reduced statistic value (the statval field divided by dof). This is not calculated for all statistics.

Type:

number or None
