High-performance algorithm to measure microscopic force fields.
This repository includes the codes to implement FORMA, which is the acronym for Foce Reconstruction via Maximum-likelihood-estimator Analysis.
The mathematical and physical derivation of FORMA can be found in the article: Laura Pérez García, Jaime Donlucas Pérez, Giorgio Volpe, Alejandro V. Arzola, and Giovanni Volpe.

The data points of your trajectories should be in in a way that the origin is in the center of the trap, i. e. where the
