Welcome to boundfit’s documentation!

Boundfit determines upper and lower boundaries to a given data set using the generalised least-squares method described in Data boundary fitting using a generalised least-squares method (Cardiel 2009, MNRAS, 396, 680).

Comparison between different functional forms for the boundary fitting.

Example of pseudo-continuum fit using adaptive splines.
