@Deprecated public class GaussNewtonEstimator extends AbstractEstimator implements java.io.Serializable
Deprecated.as of 2.0, everything in package org.apache.commons.math.estimation has been deprecated and replaced by package org.apache.commons.math.optimization.generalThis class implements a solver for estimation problems.This class solves estimation problems using a weighted least squares criterion on the measurement residuals. It uses a Gauss-Newton algorithm.

GaussNewtonEstimator
public GaussNewtonEstimator()
Deprecated.Simple constructor with default settings.The estimator is built with default values for all settings.

GaussNewtonEstimator
public GaussNewtonEstimator(int maxCostEval, double convergence, double steadyStateThreshold)
Deprecated.Simple constructor.This constructor builds an estimator and stores its convergence characteristics.
An estimator is considered to have converged whenever either the criterion goes below a physical threshold under which improvements are considered useless or when the algorithm is unable to improve it (even if it is still high). The first condition that is met stops the iterations.
The fact an estimator has converged does not mean that the model accurately fits the measurements. It only means no better solution can be found, it does not mean this one is good. Such an analysis is left to the caller.
If neither conditions are fulfilled before a given number of iterations, the algorithm is considered to have failed and an
EstimationException
is thrown.- Parameters:
maxCostEval
- maximal number of cost evaluations allowedconvergence
- criterion threshold below which we do not need to improve the criterion anymoresteadyStateThreshold
- steady state detection threshold, the problem has converged has reached a steady state ifFastMath.abs(Jn - Jn-1) < Jn × convergence
, whereJn
andJn-1
are the current and preceding criterion values (square sum of the weighted residuals of considered measurements).

setConvergence
public void setConvergence(double convergence)
Deprecated.Set the convergence criterion threshold.- Parameters:
convergence
- criterion threshold below which we do not need to improve the criterion anymore
-
setSteadyStateThreshold
public void setSteadyStateThreshold(double steadyStateThreshold)
Deprecated.Set the steady state detection threshold.The problem has converged has reached a steady state if
FastMath.abs(Jn - Jn-1) < Jn × convergence
, whereJn
andJn-1
are the current and preceding criterion values (square sum of the weighted residuals of considered measurements).- Parameters:
steadyStateThreshold
- steady state detection threshold

estimate
public void estimate(EstimationProblem problem) throws EstimationException
Deprecated.Solve an estimation problem using a least squares criterion.This method set the unbound parameters of the given problem starting from their current values through several iterations. At each step, the unbound parameters are changed in order to minimize a weighted least square criterion based on the measurements of the problem.
The iterations are stopped either when the criterion goes below a physical threshold under which improvement are considered useless or when the algorithm is unable to improve it (even if it is still high). The first condition that is met stops the iterations. If the convergence it not reached before the maximum number of iterations, an
