NAME: edgefit PURPOSE: Fit an edge between two signal levels DESCRIPTION: CATEGORY: Function fitting CALLING SEQUENCE: edgefit,x,y,err,xedge,xedgesig INPUTS: x - independent variable (vector) y - dependent variable (vector) err - uncertainties on y OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS: KEYWORD INPUT PARAMETERS: OUTPUTS: Two plots are generated and the fitted values are printed to the screen. xedge - 3 element vector: 0 - signal level on the left of the edge 1 - signal level on the right of the edge 2 - the x value of where the edge is xedgesig - 1-sigma uncertainty on the values in xedge KEYWORD OUTPUT PARAMETERS: COMMON BLOCKS: SIDE EFFECTS: RESTRICTIONS: Assumes data are strictly uniform in x (spacing does not vary).
