    public class GaussianFitter

extends CurveFitter<Gaussian.Parametric>

Fits points to a `Gaussian` function.

Usage example:

       GaussianFitter fitter = new GaussianFitter(
         new LevenbergMarquardtOptimizer());
       fitter.addObservedPoint(4.0254623,  531026.0);
       fitter.addObservedPoint(4.03128248, 984167.0);
       fitter.addObservedPoint(4.03839603, 1887233.0);
       fitter.addObservedPoint(4.04421621, 2687152.0);
       fitter.addObservedPoint(4.05132976, 3461228.0);
       fitter.addObservedPoint(4.05326982, 3580526.0);
       fitter.addObservedPoint(4.05779662, 3439750.0);
       fitter.addObservedPoint(4.0636168,  2877648.0);
       fitter.addObservedPoint(4.06943698, 2175960.0);
       fitter.addObservedPoint(4.07525716, 1447024.0);
       fitter.addObservedPoint(4.08237071, 717104.0);
       fitter.addObservedPoint(4.08366408, 620014.0);
       double[] parameters = fitter.fit();

Constructor Detail

### GaussianFitter

    public GaussianFitter(MultivariateVectorOptimizer optimizer)

  Constructs an instance using the specified optimizer.

  Parameters:
    `optimizer` - Optimizer to use for the fitting.

Method Detail

### fit

    public double[] fit(double[] initialGuess)

  Fits a Gaussian function to the observed points.

  Parameters:
    `initialGuess` - First guess values in the following order:
    - Norm
    - Mean
    - Sigma
  Returns:
    the parameters of the Gaussian function that best fits the observed points (in the same order as above).
  Since:
    3.0

### fit

    public double[] fit()

  Fits a Gaussian function to the observed points.

  Returns:
    the parameters of the Gaussian function that best fits the observed points (in the same order as above).
