For deriving p-mode parameters from m, v diagrammes, one has to treat correctly the statistics of the observation. The correct statistical treatment of these diagrammes was first achieved by Schou (1992) (PhD thesis, Aarhus University). Fitting p-mode spectra requires 4 major steps:

  1. 1. Compute the mode leakage matrices

  2. 2. Compute mode covariance matrices from the previous matrices

  3. 3. Compute the noise covariance matrices

  4. 4. Compute and maximize the likelihood of the observation
