Fitting using a Template ------------------------ Pyspeckit allows you to use a spectral template as the model to fit to your spectrum. See `pyspeckit.spectrum.models.template`. If your model spectrum only requires a shift and a scale, it's easy to use: .. code-block:: python from pyspeckit.spectrum.models.template import template_fitter template = pyspeckit.Spectrum('template_spectrum.fits') dataspec = pyspeckit.Spectrum("DataSpectrum.fits") # Create the fitter from the template spectrum and "Register" it template_fitter = template_fitter(template,xshift_units='angstroms') dataspec.Registry.add_fitter('template',template_fitter,2) # The fitted parameters are amplitude & xshift # perform the fit: dataspec.specfit(fittype='template',guesses=[1,0]) # print the results print dataspec.specfit.parinfo
