+To test the behavior of the recent psStats changes on less simple distributions, a series of simulated images were constructed in ppSim.  All images were constructed such that all stars are generated with the same magnitudes and positions across runs.  To explore a range of astronomical situations, simulations were constructed over a grid in the STARS.DENSITY and SKY.MAGS parameters.  The SKY.MAGS value was sampled every two magnitudes between 15 and 25.  The STARS.DENSITY was sampled in log10 space, with samples at log(density) = (-3,-2,-1,0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1.0,1.25,1.5,1.75,2).  Densities higher than this became unreasonably long to run.  The remaining ppSim options used were:

+The first table of plots shows the comparison between the current operations tag and the trunk psStats values for the robust and fitted mean and sigma.  For the skymag=25 case, the histograms of a selected set of stellar densities are plotted, along with vertical lines denoting the locations of the means and +/- sigma values.

+The second table shows the measured ratios of the mean and sigma values to those values for the density=-3 case (representing "truth").
