Class GaussianFitter

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.math.optimization.fitting.GaussianFitter

public class GaussianFitter
extends Object

Fits points to a Gaussian function (that is, a GaussianFunction).

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);
  GaussianFunction fitFunction = fitter.fit();
