Resumo
The precise determination of nuclear parameters for nuclides with a long half-life is of extreme relevance, as
these nuclides are often used as standard radiation sources for calibration of detector systems, for instance. On
the other hand, the determination of a precise value for the half-life of ling-lived nuclei can be di±cult, as it
may require that the activity of a single radioactive source be followed for a long period of several months or
even years.
In a previous paper, the decay of 57Co and 60Co was studied using daily detector veri¯cation data from the
Neutron Activation Analysis Lab of IPEN-CNEN/SP. In this analysis, the presence of many outliers in the
datasets proved to be a big issue, so a robust data ¯tting procedure was developed.
The aim of the present work was to enhance this data ¯tting method. The enhancement was attained using
pre-¯tting ¯lters to deal with data points and uncertainties that fall too far from the perceived behavior of
the data, thus reducing the possibility that these very gross outliers would interfere with the ¯tting procedure.
Moreover, a software implementation of the ¯tting procedure was developed, written in the Python computing
language. The aim is that this software, still in an early stage of development, will be able to ¯t experimental
data (initially, decay curves) dealing properly with outliers that may exist in the original dataset.
