//
// <synopsis>
// The SpectralEstimate class obtains an initial guess for spectral
// components. The current implementation uses the entire 
// profile as signal region, or can set a window to be searched around
// the highest peak automatically. A window can also be set manually.
// The second derivative of
// the profile in the signal region is calculated by fitting
// a second degree polynomal. The smoothing parameter Q
// determines the number of points used for this (=2*Q+1).
// The gaussians can then be estimated as described by
// Schwarz, 1968, Bull.Astr.Inst.Netherlands, Volume 19, 405.
//
// The elements guessed  can be used in the
// <linkto class=SpectralFit>SpectralFit</linkto> class.
//
// The default type found is a Gaussian, defined as:
// <srcblock>
//      AMPL.exp[ -(x-CENTER)<sup>2</sup>/2 SIGMA<sup>2</sup>]
// </srcblock>
//
// The parameter estimates are returned in units of zero-based
// pixel indices.
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>

// <motivation>
// To have an automatic method to find spectral lines

// <todo asof="2001/02/14">
//   <li> find a way to get to absorption lines as well
