Re: Tspectrum and background estimation

Marco,

The interface for TSpectrum::Background in the case of 1-d histograms is only implemented
in the CVS version. See:
http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/TSpectrum.html#TSpectrum:Background An example is shown in the tutorials peaks.C

If you do not want to move to the CVS version (our next release is planned for 11 July),
you can use the other function TSpectrum::Background that accepts as input an array
that can contain your histogram bin contents. See an example of use in the new Bacground function at
http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/src/TSpectrum.cxx.html#TSpectrum:Background
