This page tracks our priorities for future enhancements to xspec. It is divided into two categories : large projects and small projects based on the estimated amount of effort required.
- Large Projects
- Provide XSPEC functions in Python. The best approach is to use a package such as SWIG to provide access to XSPEC objects from Python. This is likely to require some reworking of top-level objects. It is probably not a good idea to provide access to lower-level objects.
- Use bootstrap resampling to provide goodness-of-fit measures.
- Provide options for different units in plots
- Small Projects
