• ### Method Detail

• #### getCovariances

public RealMatrix getCovariances(double threshold)
Get the covariance matrix of the optimized parameters.
Note that this operation involves the inversion of the JTJ matrix, where J is the Jacobian matrix. The threshold parameter is a way for the caller to specify that the result of this computation should be considered meaningless, and thus trigger an exception.
Specified by:
getCovariances in interface LeastSquaresProblem.Evaluation
Parameters:
threshold - Singularity threshold.
Returns:
the covariance matrix.
• #### getSigma

public RealVector getSigma(double covarianceSingularityThreshold)
Get an estimate of the standard deviation of the parameters. The returned values are the square root of the diagonal coefficients of the covariance matrix, sd(a[i]) ~= sqrt(C[i][i]), where a[i] is the optimized value of the i-th parameter, and C is the covariance matrix.
Specified by:
getSigma in interface LeastSquaresProblem.Evaluation
Parameters:
covarianceSingularityThreshold - Singularity threshold (see computeCovariances).
Returns:
an estimate of the standard deviation of the optimized parameters
• #### getRMS

public double getRMS()
Get the normalized cost. It is the square-root of the sum of squared of the residuals, divided by the number of measurements.
Specified by:
getRMS in interface LeastSquaresProblem.Evaluation
Returns:
the cost.
