- W3105616257 abstract "the date of receipt and acceptance should be inserted later Abstract. Traditional binned statistics such as 2 su er from information loss and arbitrariness of the binning procedure, which is especially important at low count rates as encountered in the XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (XEST). We point out that the underlying statistical quantity (the log likelihood L) does not require any binning be- yond the one implied by instrumental readout channels, and we propose to use it for low-count data. The performance of L in the model classication and point estimation problems is explored by Monte-Carlo simulations of Chandra and XMM- Newton X-ray spectra, and is compared to the performances of the binned Poisson statistic (C), Pearson's 2 and Neyman's 2 N , the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and Kuiper's statistics. It is found that the unbinned log likelihood L performs best with regard to the expected chi-square distance between true and estimated spectra, the chance of a successful identication among dis- crete candidate models, the area under the receiver-operator curve of reduced (two-model) binary classication problems, and generally also with regard to the mean square errors of individual spectrum parameters. The 2 ( 2 ) statistics should only be used if more than 10 (15) predicted counts per bin are available. From the practical point of view, the computational cost of evaluating L is smaller than for any of the alternative methods if the forward model is specied in terms of a Poisson intensity and normalization is a free parameter. The maximum-L method is applied to 14 XEST observations, and condence regions are discussed. The unbinned results are compared to binned XSPEC results, and found to generally agree, with exceptions explained by instability under re-binning and by background ne structures. In particular, HO Tau is found by the unbinned method to be rather cool (kT 0.2 keV), which may be a sign of shock emission. The maximum-L method has no lower limit on the available counts, and allows to treat weak sources which are beyond the means of binned methods." @default.
