Synopsis
Set an option for the iterative-fitting scheme.
Syntax
set_iter_method_opt(optname, val)
Example
Reject any points that are more than 5 sigma away from the best fit model and re-fit.
>>> set_iter_method('sigmarej')
>>> set_iter_method_opt('lrej', 5)
>>> set_iter_method_opt('hrej', 5)
>>> fit()PARAMETERS
The parameters for this function are:
| Parameter | Type information | Definition | 
|---|---|---|
| optname | str | The name of the option to set. The `get_iter_method_opt` routine can be used to find out valid values for this argument. | 
| val | The new value for the option. | 
Notes
The supported fields for the sigmarej scheme are:
| Item | Definition | 
|---|---|
| grow | The number of points adjacent to a rejected point that should also be removed. A value of 0 means that only the discrepant point is removed whereas a value of 1 means that the two adjacent points (one lower and one higher) will also be removed. | 
| hrej | The rejection criterion in units of sigma, for data points above the model (it must be >= 0). | 
| lrej | The rejection criterion in units of sigma, for data points below the model (it must be >= 0). | 
| maxiters | The maximum number of iterations to perform. If this value is 0 then the fit will run until it has converged. |
