Fit powerlaw distributions with a maximum-likelihood fitting procedure

powerlaw

C++ implementation of 'Power-law distributions in empirical data', A. Clauset, C.R. Shalizi and M.E.J. Newman. SIAM Review 51(4), 661 - 703 (2009).

Prerequisites

The complication requires:

• boost library.
• cmake.

Usage

Building Environment: The C++ implemenation of plfit.m and plvar.m uses the CMake (cross-platform make) build environment. CMake uses configure and make on Unix and generates projects and workspaces in the windows environment.

( e.g. cmake . ; make ; cd bin/ ; ./powerlaw_fit -h )
