Hi I'm trying to model emission lines in a CCD spectrum by adding Gaussians to the continuum model. The problem I have is that when I try to fit the data with the line energy a free parameter I get the following error message: Current parameter values and their derivatives yielded a singular matrix Chi-square minimization failed Does anyone have any idea at to what may be causing this and how to get around it? A similar procedure works OK in XSPEC (but that can't take into account the pile-up in our data) Cheers Andy ---- You received this message because you are subscribed to the isis-users list.
