NODISPLAY
Purpose
Perform fit of the specified function(s) to the data
Parameter WINDOWS(wdws)
List of display window names or condition numbers or
# (for temporary window) defining the fit region.
If omitted the fit region is defined by the fit windows.
In any case only displayed data are fitted.
Parameter LEASTSQUARES
Selects chi-square fitting with the least squares method.
This is the default.
Weighting factors are derived from the symmetrized errors in y-direction.
Parameter POISSON
Selects fitting according to the maximum likelihood method.
With this method the y-value of each data point is assumed to follow
a Poisson distribution, which is appropriate for low counting rates.
Not yet implemented
Parameter ZEROES
Include data points with y=0 in the fit. Normally such data are not considered.
Parameter ERRANALYSIS
Perform an extensive analysis for the fit parameter (asymmetric) errors.
Might be time consuming !
Parameter ITERATIONS(it)
Maximum number of iterations.
Parameter TIME(tt)
Maximum amount of CPU time for a particular fit.
After expiration the iteration loop is aborted.
Unlimited time for tt<=0.
Parameter LIST
List fit statistics each iteration
Parameter NODISPLAY
Don't display intermediate fit curves
