Hi all,

I am using the IDL procedure "robust_linefit" and I was wondering how to obtain the error bars in the coefficient vector (I just get A and B but I also need errA and errB. Is there a more appropriate routine to use ?

Thanks in advance,
Tatiana

Use the coef_sig parameter. --Wayne

I guess that the coef_sig gives the error in the Yfit values....at least that's what I've got.

No the coef_sig parameter gives the error in the coefficients. Check the documentation
http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/robust/robust_linefit. pro

IDL> x = findgen(10)
IDL> y = x + randomn(seed,10)*0.25
IDL> coeff = robust_linefit(x,y,yfit,sig,coef_sig)
IDL> print,coeff,coef_sig
-0.188812 1.02746
0.0756120 0.0212272
