In the following you will see how to fit spectral data in OGIP format. The
format is described at :ref:`gadf:ogip`. An example dataset is available in the
``gammapy-extra`` repo. For a description of the available fit statstics see
:ref:`fit-statistics`.

Getting Started
===============

The following example shows how to fit a power law simultaneously to two
simulated crab runs using the `~gammapy.spectrum.SpectrumFit` class.

.. code-block:: python

    from gammapy.spectrum import SpectrumObservation, SpectrumObservationList, SpectrumFit
    from gammapy.spectrum.models import PowerLaw
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    path = "$GAMMAPY_DATA/joint-crab/spectra/hess/"
    obs1 = SpectrumObservation.read(path + "pha_obs23523.fits")
    obs2 = SpectrumObservation.read(path + "pha_obs23592.fits")
    obs_list = SpectrumObservationList([obs1, obs2])

    model = PowerLaw(
        index=2,
        amplitude='1e-12  cm-2 s-1 TeV-1',
        reference='1 TeV',
    )

    fit = SpectrumFit(obs_list=obs_list, model=model, stat='wstat')
    result = fit.run()

You can check the fit results by looking at
`~gammapy.spectrum.SpectrumFitResult` that is attached to the
`~gammapy.spectrum.SpectrumFit` for each observation.

.. code-block:: python

    >>> print(result)
    FitResult

        backend    : minuit
        method     : minuit
        success    : True
        nfev       : 99
        total stat : 63.00
        message    : Optimization terminated successfully.

    >>> print(fit.result[0])

Interactive Sherpa Fit
======================

If you want to do something specific that is not handled by the
`~gammapy.spectrum.SpectrumFit` class you can always fit the PHA data directly
using `Sherpa`_. The following example illustrates how to do this with the
example dataset used above. It makes use of the Sherpa `datastack module
<http://cxc.harvard.edu/sherpa/ahelp/datastack.html>`_.

.. code-block:: python

    from gammapy.datasets import gammapy_extra
    from sherpa.astro import datastack
    from sherpa.models import PowLaw1D

    pha1 = gammapy_extra.filename('datasets/joint-crab/spectra/hess//pha_obs23592.fits')
    pha2 = gammapy_extra.filename('datasets/joint-crab/spectra/hess//pha_obs23523.fits')
    phalist = ','.join([pha1, pha2])

    ds = datastack.DataStack()
    ds.load_pha(phalist)

    model = PowLaw1D('powlaw1d.default')
    model.ampl = 1
    model.ref = 1e9
    model.gamma = 2

    ds.set_source(model*1e-20)

    for i in range(1, len(ds.datasets) + 1):
        datastack.ignore_bad(i)
        datastack.ignore_bad(i, 1)

    datastack.set_stat('wstat')
    ds.fit()
    datastack.covar()

This should give the following output
