I am working on the file "Modeling/ModelingExamples.ipynb".
The first task is:
Maximum Likelihood Fitting
Let's assume we've observed this periodogram from our source. We would now like to estimate the parameters. 
This requires the definition of likelihood, which describes the probability of observing the data plotted above given some underlying model with a specific set of parameters. To say it differently, the likelihood encodes what we know about the underlying model (here a power law and a constant) and the statistical properties of the data (power spectra generally follow a chi-square distribution) and then allows us to compare data and model for various parameters under the assumption of the statistical uncertainties.
In order to find the best parameter set, one generally maximizes the likelihood function using an optimization algorithm. Because optimization algorithms generally minimize functions, they effectively minimize the log-likelihood, which comes out to be the same as maximizing the likelihood itself.
Below is an implementation of the $\chi^2$ likelihood as appropriate for power spectral analysis, with comments for easier understanding. The same is also implemented in posterior.py in Stingray:
Can you write Python code for it?
