The MEME Suite

fitevd fits an extreme value distribution to a set of score-length pairs.

The outer loop alternates between estimating lambda and K with H fixed and estimating H with lambda and K fixed. The inner loop is the Newton-Raphson algorithm, which is used for solving the estimation problems.

Reads white-space separated score-length pairs from standard input.

Query Length

The query length.

Writes the EVD parameters to standard output.

Option	Parameter	Description	Default Behaviour
General Options
-d	smin smax	Print length vs p-value for smin ≤ score ≤ smax.
-h	H	Initial value of H.	H is set to 1.0 .
-ilh	ilh	Maximum iterations in outer L-H loop.	The maximum iterations in outer L-H loop is 10.
-inr	inr	Maximum iterations in inner N-R loop.	The maximum iterations in inner N-R loop is 20.
