<p class="Title">Synopsis</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0pt; text-align: left;" class="Body">Determines
source model parameters, such as flux, spectral index, source position,
and source extent from a maximum likelihood analysis of CTA data. The
analysis can be done in a binned or an unbinned formulation of the
log-likelihood function. For binned analysis, a counts map producted by
<a href="ctbin.html">ctbin</a> is required. For
unbinned analysis, an events list processed by <a href="ctselect.html">ctselect</a> is required.</p>
