ctlike
Performs binned and unbinned maximum likelihood analysis of CTA data.
Synopsis
Determines source model parameters, such as flux, spectral index, source position, and source extent from a maximum likelihood analysis of CTA data. The analysis can be done in a binned or an unbinned formulation of the log-likelihood function. For binned analysis, a counts map producted by ctbin is required. For unbinned analysis, an events list processed by ctselect is required. Based on the input file format, ctlike automatically selects between binned and unbinned maximum likelihood analysis.
