Set background data

        Parameters
        ----------
        dataset: `DataSet`, `qpimage.QPImage`, or int
            If the ``len(dataset)`` matches ``len(self)``,
            then background correction is performed
            element-wise. Otherwise, ``len(dataset)``
            must be one and is used for all data of ``self``.
