MC fitting: the spectrum expansion

Andrei Gaponenko, Monday Apr 28, 2003

Here a note on MC fitting. Mainly it's math to get the coefficients in front of delta_rho etc. right. Implementation details will be described elsewhere. Thanks to Blair for proof-reading that led to improvements in the wording.

Abstract:
This note derives a parametrization of a reconstructed spectrum in terms of deviations of parameters of the corresponding "true" spectrum. It also explains how to obtain all the terms involved using Monte-Carlo integration.
