LIGHTNING_MPFIT_FUNCTION#
Name#
LIGHTNING_MPFIT_FUNCTION
Purpose#
Calculates the deviates to be minimized by MPFIT given the data and a set of parameters.
Calling Sequence#
deviates = lightning_mpfit_function(parameters [, sed_data = , config_nopriors = , $
models = , priors = , /error_check])
Inputs#
parameters
int, float, or double array(Nparam)Parameters of the model. The actual parameters contained in this array depend on the chosen model during configuration.
Optional Inputs#
sed_data
structureA structure containing the SED luminosities and uncertainties, filter labels, distances, redshifts, and optional X-ray data. (See
lightning_input.pro
for details and contents.)config_nopriors
structureA Lightning configuration structure edited to remove the prior substructures for each parameter. (See
lightning_configure_defaults.pro
for details and contents.)models
structureA structure containing each model structure (stellar, dust, AGN, X-ray) as a substructure. (See
lightning_models.pro
for details and contents.)priors
structureA structure containing the prior hyper-parameters. (See
generate_prior_struct.pro
for details and contents.)error_check
flagIf set, all inputs are checked for errors. Otherwise, all inputs are assumed to be of correct format.
Output#
deviates
float or double array(Nfilters + Nxray)The deviates of the model for the specified parameters.
