.TH MONTECARLO "7" "5.0.0" "montecarlo" "fors recipes" .SH NAME montecarlo \- Test function mos_montecarlo_polyfit() .SH SYNOPSIS esorex .B montecarlo [OPTIONS] FILE.sof .SH DESCRIPTION This recipe is used to test the mos_montecarlo_polyfit() function. .PP It accepts a table with columns x, y, y_err, derives the best polynomial fit y = p(x), and produces a table with the polynomial 1\-sigma accuracy on the given set of x coordinates. .PP Input files: DO category: Type: Explanation: Required: TABLE Raw Table to evaluate Y Output files: DO category: Data type: Explanation: MODEL_ERROR FITS image Model error at different x .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB\-\-x\fR \fI\fR Name of independent variable column (str; default: \'x\'). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBfors.montecarlo.x\fR [default = \fIx\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-y\fR \fI\fR Name of dependent variable column (str; default: \'y\'). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBfors.montecarlo.y\fR [default = \fIy\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-sigma\fR \fI\fR Name of error column on dependent variable (str; default: \'\'). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBfors.montecarlo.sigma\fR [default = \fI\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-order\fR \fI\fR Order of fitting polynomial (long; default: 1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBfors.montecarlo.order\fR [default = \fI1\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-zero\fR \fI\fR Origin of x for fit (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBfors.montecarlo.zero\fR [default = \fI0.0\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-start\fR \fI\fR Start x for evaluation (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBfors.montecarlo.start\fR [default = \fI0.0\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-end\fR \fI\fR End x for evaluation (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBfors.montecarlo.end\fR [default = \fI0.0\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-step\fR \fI\fR x sampling interval (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBfors.montecarlo.step\fR [default = \fI0.0\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-trials\fR \fI\fR Size of statistical sample (long; default: 100). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBfors.montecarlo.trials\fR [default = \fI100\fR]. .PP 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. .SH SEE ALSO The full documentation for the fors pipeline can be downloaded as a PDF file using the following URL: .IP .B ftp://ftp.eso.org/pub/dfs/pipelines/fors/fors\-pipeline\-manual\-4.9.pdf .PP An overview over the existing ESO pipelines can be found on the web page \fBhttp://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/\fR. .PP Basic documentation about the EsoRex program can be found at the esorex (1) man page. .PP It is possible to call the pipelines from python using the python\-cpl package.
