Local Area in the Quality

Once again, in order to evaluate the mean value of the Quality in the region of the maximum, the curve is approximated by a parabola, that is in terms of its z argument. Employing similar algebra as for tex2html_wrap_inline1971 the second derivative of the Quality in the region of the maximum becomes

equation1633

which can be evaluated at the position of the maximum, tex2html_wrap_inline2884 , giving

equation1639

Therefore the Quality in the region of its maximum has the Taylor expansion,

with I and R dependences in tex2html_wrap_inline2896 , tex2html_wrap_inline2898 and the curvature, retained explicitly. This expansion may be integrated directly for an arbitrary t range. The lowest t value for which the expansion provides a good fit is tex2html_wrap_inline2904 and so for an integral from this lower bound to arbitrary t,

equation1650

A useful range of integration is for t between the uncorrected maximums of tex2html_wrap_inline1904 and the Quality. This is listed with some other possible ranges and given in the form of the mean,<Quality>.

The full expression for the Quality and its second order approximation are plotted in fig 5.
