# kmo\_stats(7)

Perform basic statistics on a KMOS-conform fits-file

## NAME

kmo\_stats - Perform basic statistics on a KMOS-conform fits-file

## SYNOPSIS

esorex **kmo\_stats** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof

## DESCRIPTION

This recipe performs basic statistics on KMOS-conform data-frames of type F2D, F1I, F2I and F3I either with or without noise and RAW. Optionally a 2D mask can be provided to define a region on which the statistics should be calculated on (mask 0: exclude pixel, mask 1: include pixel). A mask can’t be provided for statistics on F1I frames.

The output is stored in a vector of length 11. The vector represents following values:\
    1\.  Number of pixels\
    2\.  Number of finite pixels\
    3\.  Mean\
    4\.  Standard Deviation\
    5\.  Mean with iterative rejection (i.e. mean & sigma are calculated iterati-\
        vely, each time rejecting pixels more than +/-N sigma from the mean)\
    6\.  Standard Deviation with iterative rejection\
    7\.  Median\
    8\.  Mode (i.e. the peak in a histogram of pixel values)\
    9\.  Noise (a robust estimate given by the standard deviation from the nega-\
        tive side of the histogram of pixel values)\
    10\. Minimum\
    11\. Maximum

The same numerical operations are applied to the noise as with the data itself.

### BASIC PARAMETERS

\--ext These parameters specify with extensions to process. The value 0, which is default, calulates all extensions.

### ADVANCED PARAMETERS

\--cpos\_rej --cneg\_rej --citer An iterative sigma clipping is applied in order to calculate the mode (using kmo\_stats). For each position all pixels in the spectrum are examined. If they deviate significantly, they will be rejected according to the conditions:\
        val \> mean + stdev \* cpos\_rej\
    and\
        val \< mean - stdev \* cneg\_rej In the first iteration median and percentile level are used.

## OPTIONS

- **--ext** *\<int\>*

  The extension the stats should be calculated of. Zero is default and calculates the stats of all extensions (int; default: 0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmo\_stats.ext** \[default = *0*\].

- **--cpos\_rej** *\<float\>*

  The positive rejection threshold for kappa-sigma-clipping (sigma). (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmo\_stats.cpos\_rej** \[default = *3.0*\].

- **--cneg\_rej** *\<float\>*

  The negative rejection threshold for kappa-sigma-clipping (sigma). (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmo\_stats.cneg\_rej** \[default = *3.0*\].

- **--citer** *\<int\>*

  The number of iterations for kappa-sigma-clipping. (int; default: 3). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmo\_stats.citer** \[default = *3*\].

Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command.
