✨ GBALAFIT(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the gbalafit page from the User Commands section of the manual 💖 she's a little stats gremlin and honestly? iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

gbalafit — Fit an asymmetric Laplace density

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gbalafit [options] [files]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So what she does is: fit an asymmetric Laplace density. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

She reads your data from files — or straight from standard input if you don't hand her any files. With output option '4' she prints the log-likelihood as a function of m.

input.

(yes, that stray "input." is literally in the original, we don't make the rules, we just respect the lore 🙈)

⭐ Options

  • -O — output type (default 0)
    • 0 — parameters m al ar and negative log-likelihood
    • 1 — the estimated distribution function computed on the provided points
    • 2 — the estimated density function computed on the provided points
    • 3 — parameters m,al,ar their standard errors and correlations
    • 4 — log-likelihood profile
  • -m — the mode is not estimated but is set to the value provided
  • -x — initial value of m or plot range if output type is '4' (default 0)
  • -n — number of plotted points if output type is '4' (default 10)
  • -V — verbosity level (default 0)
    • 0 — just the final result
    • 1 — headings and summary table
    • 2 — intermediate steps results

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

gbalafit -m 1 <file

estimate al and ar with m=1 ✨

gbalafit -O 4 -x -1,1 <file

print the log-likelihood on a regular grid from -1 to 1. The grid has 10 points. 🎯

fr fr read that warranty bit twice, she is legally saying she promises nothing 😭 no cap.

gbalafit 6.0.beta2 — born February 2019 🎂 and that's the whole manual, bestie. go fit some densities, you ate 💅✨🦋
