stack(other)

Stack another dataset in place.

Safe mask is applied to compute the stacked counts data. Counts outside each dataset safe mask are lost.

The stacking of 2 datasets is implemented as follows. Here, \(k\) denotes a bin in reconstructed energy and \(j = {1,2}\) is the dataset number

The mask_safe of each dataset is defined as:

\[\begin{split}\epsilon_{jk} =\left\{\begin{array}{cl} 1, & \mbox{if bin k is inside the thresholds}\\ 0, & \mbox{otherwise} \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]

Then the total counts and model background bkg are computed according to:

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}\overline{\mathrm{n_{on}}}_k = \mathrm{n_{on}}_{1k} \cdot \epsilon_{1k} + \mathrm{n_{on}}_{2k} \cdot \epsilon_{2k}\\\overline{bkg}_k = bkg_{1k} \cdot \epsilon_{1k} + bkg_{2k} \cdot \epsilon_{2k}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

The stacked safe_mask is then:

\[\overline{\epsilon_k} = \epsilon_{1k} OR \epsilon_{2k}\]

Parameters

Map dataset to be stacked with this one. If other is an on-off dataset alpha * counts_off is used as a background model.
