Method ao/powerFit


  POWERFIT fits a piecewise powerlaw to the given data.
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 
  DESCRIPTION: POWERFIT fits a piecewise powerlaw to the given data by
               minimising the log-likelihood function.
 
 
  CALL:        out = obj.powerFit(pl)
               out = powerFit(objs, pl)
 
  INPUTS:      pl      - a parameter list
               obj(s)  - input ao object(s)
 
  OUTPUTS:     out - some output.

Parameter Description

Default

no description
Key Default Value Options Description
ORDERS 0 none The powers of the dependent variable to fit to the data.
P0 1 none An initial guess for the power-law coefficients.
OFFSETS [] none offset frequencies of the power-law from DC.
UB [] none Array of upper bounds for parameters. If empty, the upper bound is +Inf for all variables.
LB [] none Array of lower bounds for parameters. If empty, the lower bound is -Inf for all variables.
WEIGHTS [] none Weights for individual data bins. If empty, all bins are weighted equally. Can also be a plist for a built-in ao model
FUNCTION 'Sum'
  • 'Sum'
  • 'Median'
  • 'Exponential'
Function to use when calculating the liklihood.
  • Sum - Sum the likelihood over all bins
  • Median - Take the median likelihood over all bins
  • Exponential - Apply an exponential weighting to the likelihood to reduce influence of noise spikes
EXP_FACT 7 none Factor used in exponential weighting of likelihood funciton
