Plots of spectrogram slope versus central frequency from least-squares fit, for convergent events.
"Convergent" means first 5 fits converged (except maybe the first fit), OR the cheating fit improved the chi-squared by a certain margin; i.e., itest = exits ge 30. 785 of 838 events were convergent.

Slope of spectrogram alpha versus central frequency f0, large scale (all events on the plot). The numbers in the upper-right-hand corner of each plot are: total number of events, number of events on the plot, (and, for the 1-D plots) mean and standard deviation for the distribution. This sample consists of convergent events.
f0 vs alpha, medium scale.
f0 vs alpha, small scale.
