SYNOPSIS

esorex kmo_stats [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

This recipe performs basic statistics on KMOS-conform data-frames of type F2D, F1I, F2I and F3I either with or without noise and RAW. Optionally a 2D mask can be provided to define a region on which the statistics should be calculated on (mask 0: exclude pixel, mask 1: include pixel). A mask can’t be provided for statistics on F1I frames.

The output is stored in a vector of length 11. The vector represents following values:

   1.  Number of pixels
   2.  Number of finite pixels
   3.  Mean
   4.  Standard Deviation
   5.  Mean with iterative rejection (i.e. mean & sigma are calculated iterati-
       vely, each time rejecting pixels more than +/-N sigma from the mean)
   6.  Standard Deviation with iterative rejection
   7.  Median
   8.  Mode (i.e. the peak in a histogram of pixel values)
   9.  Noise (a robust estimate given by the standard deviation from the nega-
       tive side of the histogram of pixel values)
   10. Minimum
   11. Maximum

The same numerical operations are applied to the noise as with the data itself.

BASIC PARAMETERS

--ext These parameters specify with extensions to process. The value 0, which is default, calulates all extensions.

ADVANCED PARAMETERS

--cpos_rej --cneg_rej --citer An iterative sigma clipping is applied in order to calculate the mode (using kmo_stats). For each position all pixels in the spectrum are examined. If they deviate significantly, they will be rejected according to the conditions:

       val > mean + stdev * cpos_rej
   and
       val < mean - stdev * cneg_rej

In the first iteration median and percentile level are used.

OPTIONS

--ext <long>

The extension the stats should be calculated of. Zero is default and calculates the stats of all extensions (long; default: 0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmo_stats.ext [default = 0].

--cpos_rej <float>

The positive rejection threshold for kappa-sigma-clipping (sigma). (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmo_stats.cpos_rej [default = 3.0].

--cneg_rej <float>

The negative rejection threshold for kappa-sigma-clipping (sigma). (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmo_stats.cneg_rej [default = 3.0].

--citer <long>

The number of iterations for kappa-sigma-clipping. (long; default: 3). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmo_stats.citer [default = 3].

Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command.
