dc.descriptionMode fitting or "peak-bagging" is an important procedure in helioseismology allowing one to determine the various mode parameters of solar oscillations. We have recently developed a new "pseudo-global" fitting algorithm as a way of reducing the systematic bias in the fits of certain mode parameters that are seen when using "local" fitting techniques to analyse "sun-as-a-star" p-mode data. This new algorithm has been designed specifically to gain the advantages of fitting the entire power spectrum, while retaining the efficiency of local fitting techniques. Using simulated data with a full fill we have previously shown that the pseudo-global routine reduces the bias in estimates of the frequencies and asymmetries and in the estimates of the solar background when compared with a traditional fitting technique. Here we present results that show that the pseudo-global routine is also effective in reducing bias in the parameter estimates when the time-series has significant gaps. As such we are now able to employ the routine in order to fit ground based helioseismic data such as that collected by the Birmingham Solar Oscillations Network (BiSON).
