    I How to Bin Data for Spectrum Fitting with Poisson Errors?

    Hi! I have some measurements of the rate of a physical process versus energy. For each energy I have a number of counts and a measurement time associated to it. However, the step (in energy) at which the measurements are made is very small and also the measurement time is small, hence just...
