The '''Moffat distribution''', named after the [[physicist]] [[Anthony Moffat]], is a [[continuous probability distribution]] based upon the [[Cauchy distribution|Lorentzian distribution]].  Its particular importance in [[astrophysics]] is due to its ability to accurately reconstruct [[point spread function]]s, whose wings cannot be accurately portrayed by either a [[Gaussian function|Gaussian]] or [[Cauchy distribution|Lorentzian]] function.

==Characterisation==
If you would like use the '''MathML''' rendering mode, you need a wikipedia user account that can be registered here [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin/signup]]
===Probability density function===
* Only registered users will be able to execute this rendering mode.
The Moffat distribution can be described in two ways. Firstly as the distribution of a bivariate random variable (''X'',''Y'') centred at zero, and secondly as the distribution of the corresponding radii

:<math>R=\sqrt{X^2+Y^2}.</math>
In terms of the random vector (''X'',''Y''), the distribution has the [[probability density function]] (pdf)
: <math>
f(x,y; \alpha,\beta)=\left(\beta-1\right)\left(\pi\alpha^2\right)^{-1}\left[1+\left(\frac{x^2+y^2}{\alpha^2}\right)\right]^{-\beta} , \,
</math>


where <math>\alpha</math> and <math>\beta</math> are [[astronomical seeing|seeing]] dependent parameters. In this form, the distribution is a reparameterisation of a [[bivariate Student distribution]] with zero correlation.
Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:


In terms of the random variable ''R'', the distribution has density

f(r; \alpha,\beta)=2r \frac{\beta-1}{\alpha^2} \left[1+\left(\frac{r^2}{\alpha^2}\right)\right]^{-\beta} . \,
</math>


===Differential equation===

This is a preview for the new MathML rendering mode (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.

If you would like use the MathML rendering mode, you need a wikipedia user account that can be registered here [[1]]

  • Only registered users will be able to execute this rendering mode.
  • Note: you need not enter a email address (nor any other private information). Please do not use a password that you use elsewhere.

Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:

MathML


Follow this link to change your Math rendering settings. You can also add a Custom CSS to force the MathML/SVG rendering or select different font families. See these examples.
