Detailed Description

This class offers functions to perform least-squares fits to a straight line model, $ Y(c,x) = c_0 + c_1 x $ .

Next to the intercept with the y-axis and the slope of the fitted line, this class computes the:

squared Pearson coefficient
value of the t-distribution
standard deviation of the residuals
standard error of the slope
intercept with the x-axis (useful for additive series experiments)
lower border of confidence interval
higher border of confidence interval
chi squared value
x mean

◆ computeChiSquare()

double computeChiSquare	(	Iterator	x_begin,
		Iterator	x_end,
		Iterator	y_begin,
		double	slope,
		double	intercept
	)

protected

Compute the chi squared of a linear fit.

◆ computeGoodness_()

void computeGoodness_	(	const std::vector< Wm5::Vector2d > &	points,
		double	confidence_interval_P
	)

protected

Computes the goodness of the fitted regression line.

◆ computeRegression()

void computeRegression	(	double	confidence_interval_P,
		Iterator	x_begin,
		Iterator	x_end,
		Iterator	y_begin,
		bool	compute_goodness = `true`
	)

This function computes the best-fit linear regression coefficients $ (c_0,c_1) $ of the model $ Y = c_0 + c_1 X $ for the dataset $ (x, y) $ .

The values in x-dimension of the dataset $ (x,y) $ are given by the iterator range [x_begin,x_end) and the corresponding y-values start at position y_begin.

For a "x %" Confidence Interval use confidence_interval_P = x/100. For example the 95% Confidence Interval is supposed to be an interval that has a 95% chance of containing the true value of the parameter.

Parameters

confidence_interval_P	Value between 0-1 to determine lower and upper CI borders.
x_begin	Begin iterator of x values
x_end	End iterator of x values
y_begin	Begin iterator of y values (same length as x)
compute_goodness	Compute meta stats about the fit. If this is not done, none of the members (except slope and intercept) are meaningful.

Returns: If an error occurred during the fit.

Exceptions

Exception::UnableToFit is thrown if fitting cannot be performed

void computeRegressionWeighted	(	double	confidence_interval_P,
		Iterator	x_begin,
		Iterator	x_end,
		Iterator	y_begin,
		Iterator	w_begin,
		bool	compute_goodness = `true`
	)

This function computes the best-fit linear regression coefficients $ (c_0,c_1) $ of the model $ Y = c_0 + c_1 X $ for the weighted dataset $ (x, y) $ .

The values in x-dimension of the dataset $ (x, y) $ are given by the iterator range [x_begin,x_end) and the corresponding y-values start at position y_begin. They will be weighted by the values starting at w_begin.

For a "x %" Confidence Interval use confidence_interval_P = x/100. For example the 95% Confidence Interval is supposed to be an interval that has a 95% chance of containing the true value of the parameter.

Parameters

confidence_interval_P	Value between 0-1 to determine lower and upper CI borders.
x_begin	Begin iterator of x values
x_end	End iterator of x values
y_begin	Begin iterator of y values (same length as x)
w_begin	Begin iterator of weight values (same length as x)
compute_goodness	Compute meta stats about the fit. If this is not done, none of the members (except slope and intercept) are meaningful.

Returns: If an error occurred during the fit.
