calc_bkg_stat_info

Context: fitting

Synopsis

Display the statistic values for the current background models.

Syntax

calc_bkg_stat_info()

Description

Returns the statistics values for background datasets with background models. See `calc_stat_info` for a description of the return value.


Example

>>> calc_bkg_stat_info()

Notes

If a fit to a particular background data set has not been made, or values - such as parameter settings, the noticed data range, or choice of statistic - have been changed since the last fit, then the results for that data set may not be meaningful and will therefore bias the results for the simultaneous results.

Changes in CIAO

Added in CIAO 4.16
