💖 GBGCORR — bestie's guide to gbgcorr(1) 💖

okay so. you opened the manual page for gbgcorr, a User Commands situation, and honestly? it's giving "math girlie who owns a graphing calculator and a skincare routine". let's get into it 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

gbgcorr — Gaussian kernel correlation dimension 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gbgcorr [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no positional args, just options, slay 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So what does she do, bestie? She computes the correlation dimension with a Gaussian kernel. 🧚

Here's the tea on the output: you get one block of output printed for each embedding dimension. Inside that block:

  • the first column reports the bandwidth
  • the second column reports the associated correlation coefficient

And the bandwidths? They are equispaced in a log scale, running from 1 (that's the maximum) down to 2^(-n+1) (that's the minimum). The n in question can be set on the command line — so yes, you have main character control over this. ✨

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

Every single one, no skips, no cap:

  • -h — this help 🫶 (she's helpful like that)
  • -l — time lag (default 1) ⏱️
  • -m — maximum embedding dimension (default 2) 📐
  • -t — Theiler correction (default 1) 🛡️
  • -R — seed (default 0) 🌱
  • -p — number of reference points (default 1) 📍
  • -r — number of bandwidths (default 24) 📊
  • -s — print standard errors 📉
  • -F — specify the input fields separators (default " \t") 🔤
ngl, note that the default separator is literally a space and a tab — " \t" — so don't come for her when your whitespace-separated file just works. 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

hmm, the original didn't list any SEE ALSO references — so no cross-links, no extra reading. that's the whole page, periodt. 💅

okay and last thing — this whole thing is gbgcorr 6.2, dated June 2021, so if you're reading this in the group chat years later, just know she's been serving correlation dimensions since the early 2000s. 🦋✨ bye bestie, go compute something gorgeous 💖
