Summary of the β values obtained using the different techniques.

Method β value

Hα Hβ H
l.s.f(a) − 0.98 ± 0.21 − 0.97 ± 0.06 − 0.96 ± 0.14
l.s.f(b) − 1.56 ± 0.13 − 1.10 ± 0.08
m.l.e(c) − 1.45 ± 0.26 − 1.12 ± 0.35 − 1.01 ± 0.44
m.l.e(d) − 1.23 ± 0.33 − 0.92 ± 0.26 − 0.57 ± 0.33

Notes. l.s.fis least-squares fitting, and m.l.e is maximum likelihood estimation. (a) Implies least-squares fitting considering all data points, (b)least-squares fitting ignoring 5 points with lowest energy, (c)maximum likelihood estimation with bias and (d)maximum likelihood estimate without bias. H corresponds to data from Crespo-Chacón et al. (2006).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
