Exponential power density parameter calculator.

bumps.dream.exppow.exppow_pars(B)[source]

Return w(B) and c(B) for the exponential power density:

\[p(v|S,B) = \frac{w(B)}{S} \exp\left(-c(B) |v/S|^{2/(1+B)}\right)\]

B in (-1,1] is a measure of kurtosis:

B = 1: double exponential
B = 0: normal
B -> -1: uniform
