dysmalpy.utils.fit_truncated_gaussian(trace, truncate_value)[source]

Find the best fitting mean and standard deviation of a sample assuming the distribution is a truncated Gaussian with the truncation occurring at low values.

Parameters:
  • trace – Sample to fit

  • truncate_value – The value for where the truncation occurs

Returns:

mean, standard deviation of the best fitting truncated Gaussian
