mean_poisson_likelihood_gaussian

ctapipe.image.mean_poisson_likelihood_gaussian(prediction, spe_width, pedestal)[source]

Calculation of the mean likelihood for a give expectation value of pixel intensity in the gaussian approximation. This is useful in the calculation of the goodness of fit.

Parameters
prediction: ndarray

Predicted pixel amplitudes from model

spe_width: ndarray

Width of single p.e. distribution

pedestal: ndarray

Width of pedestal

Returns
float
