Improving the example in the documentation - eventually adding more about ronswanson HOT 5 CLOSED

@cosimoNigro I think this could be done.. there are working examples for real simulations (the motivation behind the work) that are unfortunately closed source at the moment as they are from proprietary blazar spectral code that I do not have permission to open-source at the moment.

Would you prefer something like a mock "simulation" code that is interfaced in? Even in the case of the blazer "simulation" code, the actual calls to the evaluation are python hooks... so there is not a giant leap in going from something like Band function or a power law.

On the issue of showing the template model in a fit, would it just be sufficient to link the associated software documentation showing how these tools can be combined?

I see, then let's say that it does not matter whether the model is physical or analytical.

What I would like to see, though, is a statistical application of the model generated and, if possible, the eventual speed-up introduced by having and the model already evaluated on a grid of data. Can't you apply the band function in the example to some real or mock dataset?

To which documentation and tools you are referring to?

@cosimoNigro I have tried to make the connection between the example and a real simulation clearer. As far as fitting, I could put some mock data, but it would make the repo heavier. I have instead linked to the 3ML docs which already cover both fitting and fitting table models. Would this be ok?

It is, thank you.
