Table of Contents
Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Function | InOut | Function | Mandatory | Parameters defining the fitting function and its initial values |
InputWorkspace | Input | Workspace | Mandatory | Name of the input Workspace |
IgnoreInvalidData | Input | boolean | False | Flag to ignore infinities, NaNs and data with zero errors. |
DomainType | Input | string | Simple | The type of function domain to use: Simple, Sequential, or Parallel. Allowed values: [‘Simple’, ‘Sequential’, ‘Parallel’] |
EvaluationType | Input | string | CentrePoint | The way the function is evaluated on histogram data sets. If value is “CentrePoint” then function is evaluated at centre of each bin. If it is “Histogram” then function is integrated within the bin and the integrals returned. Allowed values: [‘CentrePoint’, ‘Histogram’] |
PeakRadius | Input | number | 0 | A value of the peak radius the peak functions should use. A peak radius defines an interval on the x axis around the centre of the peak where its values are calculated. Values outside the interval are not calculated and assumed zeros.Numerically the radius is a whole number of peak widths (FWHM) that fit into the interval on each side from the centre. The default value of 0 means the whole x axis. |
ChiSquared | Output | number | Output value of chi squared. | |
ChiSquaredDividedByDOF | Output | number | Output value of chi squared divided by the number of degrees of freedom (NofData - nOfParams). | |
ChiSquaredDividedByNData | Output | number | Output value of chi squared divided by the number of data points). | |
ChiSquaredWeighted | Output | number | Output value of weighted chi squared. | |
ChiSquaredWeightedDividedByDOF | Output | number | Output value of weighted chi squared divided by the number of degrees of freedom (NofData - nOfParams). | |
ChiSquaredWeightedDividedByNData | Output | number | Output value of weighted chi squared divided by the number of data points). | |
Weighted | Input | boolean | False | Option to use the weighted chi squared in error estimation. Default is false. |
Calculates a measure of the goodness of a fit in four ways.
The ChiSquared property returns the sum of squares of differences between the calculated and measured values:
\(\chi_{1}^{2} = \sum_{i} (y_i - f_i)^2\)
where \(y_i\) and \(f_i\) are the measured and calculated values at i-th point.
The ChiSquaredDividedByDOF is ChiSquared divided by the number of degrees of freedom (DOF):
\(\chi_{2}^{2} = \frac{1}{DOF}\sum_{i} (y_i - f_i)^2\)
\(DOF = N_d - N_p\) where \(N_d\) is the number of data points used in fitting and \(N_p\) is the number of free (not fixed or tied) parameters of the function.
The ChiSquaredWeighted property sums the squares of the differences divided by the data errors:
\(\chi_{3}^{2} = \sum_{i} \left(\frac{y_i - f_i}{\sigma_i}\right)^2\)
Finally, ChiSquaredWeightedDividedByDOF is
\(\chi_{4}^{2} = \chi_{3}^{2} / DOF\)
