SpectrumStats

class gammapy.spectrum.SpectrumStats(**kwargs)

Bases: gammapy.data.ObservationStats

Spectrum stats.

Extends ObservationStats with spectrum specific information (energy bin info at the moment).

Attributes Summary

alpha	Alpha (on / off exposure ratio)
background	Background estimate (float)
excess	Excess (float)
sigma	Li-Ma significance for observation statistics (float).

Methods Summary

from_observation(observation, bg_estimate)	Create from DataStoreObservation.
stack(stats_list)	Stack (concatenate) list of ObservationStats.
to_dict()	TODO: document

Attributes Documentation

alpha

Alpha (on / off exposure ratio)

Override member function from Stats to take into account weighted alpha by number of Off events

background

Background estimate (float)

\[\mu_\mathrm{bg} = \alpha\ n_\mathrm{off}\]

excess

Excess (float)

\[n_\mathrm{ex} = n_\mathrm{on} - \mu_\mathrm{bg}\]

sigma

Li-Ma significance for observation statistics (float).
