Is it possible to output the standard error on hated alpha ?

ntamas commented 6 years ago

I'm not sure I understand the question; how would you calculate the standard error?

jgmbenoit commented 6 years ago

A priori, by using formulae (3.2) for real data and (3.6) for positive integers in [1,arXiv version].

ntamas commented 6 years ago

Ah, okay, these formulae are not implemented in plfit yet.
