gblafit 💅✨

okay bestie, welcome to gblafit(1) — a User Commands girlie who literally just wants to fit a Laplace density for you. she's from the gbutils squad, she's lowkey iconic, and she reads from files or straight off standard input like the flexible queen she is. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

gblafit — fit a Laplace density, no cap 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gblafit [options] [files]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the whole vibe here is: fit a Laplace density. that's it, that's the job. she'll read your data from files, or if you don't hand her any, she'll happily slurp it from standard input like it's a boba straw 🧋

and listen — if you set the output option to 4, she prints the log-likelihood as a function of m. periodt.

input.

🎀 Options 🎀

  • -O — output type (default 0). this is the main character switch, so let's break down every single flavor:
    • 0 — parameters m, a and the 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, a and their standard errors and correlations
    • 4 — log-likelihood profile
  • -m — the mode is not estimated; instead it's set to the value you provide. she's not guessing, she's obeying 💅
  • -x — the initial value of m, or the plot range if the output type is '4' (default 0)
  • -n — number of plotted points if the output type is '4' (default 10)

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

she ate with these, fr fr:

gblafit -m 1 <file
estimate a with m=1 🫶
gblafit -O 4 -x -1,1 <file
print the log-likelihood on a regular grid from -1 to 1. and yes, the grid has 10 points — that's the default -n doing its thing ⭐
