rebin_by_time

gdt.core.binning.binned.rebin_by_time(counts, count_uncert, exposure, old_edges, dt)[source]

Rebins binned data to a specified temporal bin width.

If the requested bin width is smaller than some of the original bin widths, those bins will be left as is.

If the requested bin width is an exact factor of all the current bin widths, the resulting bin width will be exactly as requested. If the requested bin width is not an exact factor, then the resulting bin width will be approximately the requested bin width without exceeding the requested bin width.

Parameters:

  • counts (np.array) – The counts in each bin

  • count_uncert (np.array) – The uncertainty in each bin

  • exposure (np.array) – The exposure of each bin

  • old_edges (np.array) – The time edges of each bin

  • dt (float) – The requested temporal bin width in seconds

Returns:

(np.array, np.array, np.array, np.array) –

The counts, uncertainty, and

exposure in each bin and the new bin edges
