Description

It should be possible to specify the statistic in the observation definition XML file:

<observation_list title="observation library">
  <observation name="..." id="..." instrument="..." statistic="CSTAT">
  ...
  </observation>
  <observation name="..." id="..." instrument="..." statistic="WSTAT">
  ...
   </observation>
  ...
 </observation_list>

The change should be made in GObservations::read().

No recurrence.

History

#1 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen about 7 years ago

  • Status changed from New to In Progress
  • Assigned To set to Knödlseder Jürgen
  • % Done changed from 0 to 10

Changed the GObservations::statistics methods to GObservations::statistic which is semantically better (not “s” in statistic). This requires also an update of ctools.

#2 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen about 7 years ago

I’m no longer sure that this should be handled at the GObservations::read() method level since the statistic value should be checked to signal immediately if an invalid value was specified.

For example for Fermi-LAT, COMPTEL and the MWL interface the statistic cannot be changed. This is therefore only really relevant for CTA for the moment.

#3 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen about 7 years ago

  • Status changed from In Progress to Closed
  • % Done changed from 10 to 100

I implemented the handling of the statistic attribute in the CTA observation classes.

The code was merged into devel.
