It contains a\npowerful language for combining simple models into complex expressions\nthat can be fit to the data using a variety of statistics and\noptimization methods. It is easily extensible to include user models,\nstatistics, and optimization methods. It provides a high-level User\nInterface for interactive data-analysis work, such as within a\nJupyter notebook, and it can also be used as a library component,\nproviding fitting and modeling capabilities to an application.\n\nWhat can you do with Sherpa?\n\n- fit 1D (multiple) data including: spectra, surface brightness profiles, light curves, general ASCII arrays\n- fit 2D images/surfaces in Poisson/Gaussian regime\n- build complex model expressions\n- import and use your own models\n- use appropriate statistics for modeling Poisson or Gaussian data\n- import new statistics, with priors if required by analysis\n- visualize the parameter space with simulations or using 1D/2D cuts of the parameter space\n- calculate confidence levels on the best fit model parameters\n- choose a robust optimization method for the fit: Levenberg-Marquardt, Nelder-Mead Simplex or Monte Carlo/Differential Evolution.\n\nDocumentation for Sherpa is available at\n[Read The Docs](https://sherpa.readthedocs.io/)\nand also for [Sherpa in CIAO](http://cxc.harvard.edu/sherpa/).\n\nA [Quick Start Tutorial](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/sherpa/sherpa/tree/master/notebooks/SherpaQuickStart.ipynb)\nis included in the `notebooks` folder and can be opened with an `ipython notebook`.\n\nLicense\n=======\n\nThis program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under\nthe terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software\nFoundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later\nversion.

It can be installed with the `conda`\npackage manager by saying\n\n $ conda install -c sherpa sherpa\n\nUsing pip\n---------\n\nSherpa is also available\n[on PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sherpa) and so can be installed\nwith the following command (which requires that the NumPy package is\nalready installed).\n\n % pip install sherpa\n\nBuilding from source\n--------------------\n\nSource installation is available for platforms incompatible with the\nbinary builds, or for when the default build options are not sufficient\n(such as including support for the\n[`XSPEC` model library](https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/xanadu/xspec/)).\nThe steps are described in the\n[building from source](https://sherpa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#building-from-source)\ndocumentation.\n\nHistory\n=======\n\nSherpa is developed by the [Chandra X-ray\nObservatory](http://chandra.harvard.edu/) to provide fitting and modelling\ncapabilities to the [CIAO](http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/) analysis package. It\nhas been released onto [GitHub](https://github.com/sherpa/sherpa) for users to\nextend (whether to other areas of Astronomy or in other domains).\n\nRelease History\n---------------\n\n4.11.0: 20
