Reweight visibilities according to their scatter (Experimental)

    The WEIGHT and SIGMA columns of measurement sets are often set to arbitrary
    values (e.g. 1), or theoretically estimated from poorly known antenna and
    receiver properties.  Many tasks (e.g. clean) are insensitive to an overall
    scale error in WEIGHT, but are affected by errors in the relative weights
    between visibilities.  Other tasks, such as uvmodelfit, or anything which
    depends on theoretical estimates of the noise, require (reasonably) correct
    weights and sigmas.  statwt empirically measures the visibility scatter
    (typically as a function of time, antenna, and/or baseline) and uses that
    to set WEIGHT and SIGMA. It is important that all necessary calibrations 
    are applied to the data prior to running this task for correct determination of
    weights and sigmas. 
    
    Note: Some of the parameters (byantenna, sepacs, fitcorr, and timebin) 
  are not fully implemeted for CASA 3.4.
  

Keyword arguments:
vis -- Name of the measurement set.
default: none; example: vis='ngc5921.ms'

dorms -- Estimate the scatter using rms instead of the standard
 deviation?

 Ideally the visibilities used to estimate the scatter, as
 selected by fitspw and fitcorr, should be pure noise.  If you
 know for certain that they are, then setting dorms to True
 will give the best result.  Otherwise, use False (standard
 sample standard deviation).  More robust scatter estimates
 like the interquartile range or median absolute deviation from
 the median are not offered because they require sorting by
 value, which is not possible for complex numbers.
       default: False

byantenna -- Assume that the noise is factorable by antenna (feed).
     If false, treat it seperately for each baseline
     (recommended if there is strong signal).
       default: False (*** byantenna=True is not yet implemented)

sepacs -- If solving by antenna, treat autocorrelations separately.
  (Acknowledge that what autocorrelations "see" is very
   different from what crosscorrelations see.)
       default: True (*** not yet implemented)


--- Data Selection (see help par.selectdata for more detailed
    information)

fitspw -- The (ideally) signal-free spectral window:channels to
  estimate the scatter from.
       default: '' (All)

fitcorr -- The (ideally) signal-free correlations to
   estimate the scatter from.
       default: '' (All) 
       *** not yet implemented 

combine -- Let samples span multiple spws, corrs, scans, and/or states.
   combine = 'spw': Recommended when a line spans an entire spw 
                    - set fitspw to the neighboring spws and
                    apply their weight to the line spw(s).
                    However, the effect of the line signal per
                    visibility may be relatively harmless
                    compared to the noise difference between
                    spws.
   combine = 'scan': Can be useful when the scan number
                     goes up with each integration,
                     as in many WSRT MSes.
   combine = ['scan', 'spw']: disregard scan and spw
                              numbers when gathering samples.
   combine = 'spw,scan': Same as above.
      default: '' (None)

timebin -- Sample interval.
   default: '0s' or '-1s' (1 integration at a time)
   example: timebin='30s'
            '10' means '10s'
   *** not yet implemented 

minsamp -- Minimum number of unflagged visibilities for estimating the
   scatter.  Selected visibilities for which the weight cannot
   be estimated will be flagged.  Note that minsamp is
   effectively at least 2 if dorms is False, and 1 if it is
   True.

field -- Select field using field id(s) or field name(s).
  [run listobs to obtain the list id's or names]
       default: ''=all fields If field string is a non-negative
       integer, it is assumed to be a field index
       otherwise, it is assumed to be a field name
       field='0~2'; field ids 0,1,2
       field='0,4,5~7'; field ids 0,4,5,6,7
       field='3C286,3C295'; fields named 3C286 and 3C295
       field = '3,4C*'; field id 3, all names starting with 4C

spw -- Select spectral window/channels for changing WEIGHT and SIGMA.
       default: ''=all spectral windows and channels
       spw='0~2,4'; spectral windows 0,1,2,4 (all channels)
       spw='<2';  spectral windows less than 2 (i.e. 0,1)
       spw='0:5~61'; spw 0, channels 5 to 61
       spw='0,10,3:3~45'; spw 0,10 all channels, spw 3 - chans 3 to 45.
       spw='0~2:2~6'; spw 0,1,2 with channels 2 through 6 in each.
       spw = '*:3~64'  channels 3 through 64 for all sp id's
       spw = ' :3~64' will NOT work.
       statwt does not support multiple channel ranges per spectral
       window (';') because it is not clear whether to keep the ranges
       in the original spectral window or make a new spectral window
       for each additional range.

antenna -- Select antennas/baselines for changing WEIGHT and SIGMA.
       default: '' (all)
Non-negative integers are assumed to be antenna indices, and
anything else is taken as an antenna name.

Examples:
antenna='5&6': baseline between antenna index 5 and index 6.
antenna='VA05&VA06': baseline between VLA antenna 5 and 6.
antenna='5&6;7&8': baselines 5-6 and 7-8
antenna='5': all baselines with antenna 5
antenna='5,6,10': all baselines including antennas 5, 6, or 10
antenna='5,6,10&': all baselines with *only* antennas 5, 6, or
                       10.  (cross-correlations only.  Use &&
                       to include autocorrelations, and &&&
                       to get only autocorrelations.)
antenna='!ea03,ea12,ea17': all baselines except those that
                           include EVLA antennas ea03, ea12, or
                           ea17.
timerange -- Select data based on time range:
       default = '' (all); examples,
       timerange = 'YYYY/MM/DD/hh:mm:ss~YYYY/MM/DD/hh:mm:ss'
       Note: if YYYY/MM/DD is missing date, timerange defaults to the
       first day in the dataset
       timerange='09:14:0~09:54:0' picks 40 min on first day
       timerange='25:00:00~27:30:00' picks 1 hr to 3 hr 30min
       on next day
       timerange='09:44:00' data within one integration of time
       timerange='>10:24:00' data after this time
scan -- Scan number range
    default: ''=all
intent -- Select by scan intent (state).  Case sensitive.
    default: '' = all
    Examples:
    intent = 'CALIBRATE_ATMOSPHERE_REFERENCE'
    intent = 'calibrate_atmosphere_reference'.upper() # same as above
    # Select states that include one or both of CALIBRATE_WVR.REFERENCE
    # or OBSERVE_TARGET_ON_SOURCE.
    intent = 'CALIBRATE_WVR.REFERENCE, OBSERVE_TARGET_ON_SOURCE'
array -- (Sub)array number range
    default: ''=all
correlation -- Select correlations, e.g. 'rr, ll' or ['XY', 'YX'].
       default '' (all).
observation -- Select by observation ID(s).
       default: '' = all
       datacolumn -- Which data column to calculate the scatter from
  default='corrected'; example: datacolumn='data'
  Options: 'data', 'corrected', 'model', 'float_data'
  note: 'corrected' will fall back to DATA if CORRECTED_DATA
        is absent.
