# The methods for calculating the continuum are:
#	median  -> running median using median_n_bins, with step size of 1 bin
#	tmedian -> running truncated median using median_n_bins, ""
#	spline3 -> cubic smoothing spline
# If using median or truncated median, must set the median_n_bins parameter

#
# The of head and tail of the non cubic spline continuum calculations need to
# be determined by the user.  The head and tail sections are equivalent to
# median_n_bins/2 on each end of the spectrum.  Currently, the possible 
# values for those sections are:
#	default     -> sets the head and tail to = 0 counts
#	values      -> sets the head and tail to user values; values are set
#                      in the following paramerters called "head_value" and
#	               "tail_value"
#	extrapolate -> uses extrapolation of the neighbors to cal head/tail
#	copy        -> uses a copy of the neighbors data values to get the extra
#	               points in order to perform median/tmedian calculations
