SpectrumDataset#

class gammapy.datasets.SpectrumDataset(models=None, counts=None, exposure=None, background=None, psf=None, edisp=None, mask_safe=None, mask_fit=None, gti=None, meta_table=None, name=None, meta=None)[source]#

Bases: gammapy.datasets.spectrum.PlotMixin, gammapy.datasets.map.MapDataset

Main dataset for spectrum fitting (1D analysis). It bundles together binned counts, background, IRFs into RegionNDMap (a Map with only one spatial bin). A safe mask and a fit mask can be added to exclude bins during the analysis. If models are assigned to it, it can compute the predicted number of counts and the statistic function, here the Cash statistic (see cash).

For more information see Datasets (DL4).

stack(other, nan_to_num=True)#

Stack another dataset in place. The original dataset is modified.

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:

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