scisalt.scipy.GaussResults

class scisalt.scipy.GaussResults(x, y, sigma_y=None, p0=None, variance=False, background=False)

Fits a gaussian to a curve specified by pairs x and y, with error on y of sigma_y.

• plot: Determines whether the plot is shown
• p0: Initial guess given by amplitude amp, mean mu, and standard deviation rms, in the form of:
  • [amp, mu, rms**2] if variance_bool is true
  • [amp, mu, rms] if variance_bool is false
• background_bool: If true, uses a background term in the fit, with initial guess bg

Returns full statistical results in the form of an instance of class GaussResults.
