compute_lightcurve_fvar

gammapy.estimators.utils.compute_lightcurve_fvar(lightcurve, flux_quantity='flux')

Compute the fractional excess variance of the input lightcurve.

Internally calls the compute_fvar function.

Parameters:

lightcurveFluxPoints

The lightcurve object.

flux_quantitystr

Flux quantity to use for calculation. Should be ‘dnde’, ‘flux’, ‘e2dnde’ or ‘eflux’. Default is ‘flux’.

Returns:

fvarTable

Table of fractional excess variance and associated error for each energy bin of the lightcurve.
