lorentzian.m

Basic function to locate and measure the positive peaks in a noisy data sets. Detects peaks by loo

function g = lorentzian(x,position,width)
% lorentzian(x,position,width) Lorentzian function.
% where x may be scalar, vector, or matrix
% position and width scalar
% T. C. O'Haver, 1988
% Example: lorentzian([1 2 3],2,2) gives result [0.5 1 0.5]
g=ones(size(x))./(1+((x-position)./(0.5.*width)).^2);
