Plots of spectrogram slope versus central frequency from least-squares fit, for convergent events, showing a progression from ill-fitting events (nchi2 > 1) to best-fitting events (nchi2 < .1).
Of 4016 events, 3947 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 with nchi2 > 1. , that is, events with not a very good fit.
f0 vs alpha, convergent, nchi2 < 1.
f0 vs alpha, convergent, nchi2 < .7
f0 vs alpha, convergent, nchi2 < .5
f0 vs alpha, convergent, nchi2 < .3
f0 vs alpha, convergent, nchi2 < .1
