NormGauss1D

class sherpa.models.basic.NormGauss1D(name='normgauss1d')

Bases: sherpa.models.model.ArithmeticModel

One-dimensional normalised gaussian function.

fwhm

The Full-Width Half Maximum of the gaussian. It is related to the sigma value by: FWHM = sqrt(8 * log(2)) * sigma.

pos

The center of the gaussian.

ampl

The amplitude refers to the integral of the model over the range -infinity to infinity.

Notes

The functional form of the model for points is:

f(x) = ampl * exp(-4 * log(2) * (x - pos)^2 / fwhm^2)
       ----------------------------------------------
               sqrt(pi / (4 * log(2))) * fwhm

and for an integrated grid it is the integral of this over the bin.
