gblaepfit - Fit a less asymmetric power exponential density

gblaepfit [options] [files]

Fit skewed power exponential density. Read from files or from standard input

Options: -O output type (default 0)
0
parameter bl br a m and log-likelihood
1
the estimated distribution function computed on the provided points
2
the estimated density function computed on the provided points
set initial conditions bl,br,a,m (default 2,2,1,1,0)
the mode is not estimated but is set to the value provided
number of intervals to explore at each iteration (default 10)
verbosity level (default 0)
0
just the final result
1
intermediate steps results
2
intermediate steps internals
3+
details of optim. routine
active estimation steps. The value is the sum of (default 1)
0
no optimization
1
global and local optimization
set global optimization options. Fields are step,tol,iter,eps,msize,algo. Empty field implies default (default .1,1e-2,100,1e-3,1e-5,2)
set local optimization options. Fields are step,tol,iter,eps,msize,algo. Empty field implies default (default .01,1e-3,200,1e-3,1e-5,2)

The optimization parameters are step initial step size of the searching algorithm

line search tolerance iter: maximum number of iterations
gradient tolerance : stopping criteria ||gradient||<eps
simplex max size : stopping criteria ||max edge||<msize
optimization methods: 0 Fletcher-Reeves, 1 Polak-Ribiere, 2 Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno, 3 Steepest descent, 4 Nelder-Mead simplex, 5 Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno ver.2 6 Nelder-Mead simplex ver. 2, 7 Nelder-Mead simplex rnd init.
