Constructor Detail

LinearExtrapolation

public LinearExtrapolation(int b)

Constructs a new linear extrapolation object. Use Extrapolation.setData(double[]) to set the measurements.

LinearExtrapolation

public LinearExtrapolation(double[] data)

Constructs a new linear extrapolation object. The measurements are immediately set.

Method Detail

calcPolynom

protected Polynom calcPolynom()

Calculates the extrapolating polynom. To calculate the partial sums, the Extrapolation.calcSum(int) method of the abstract parent class is used.

Specified by:

calcPolynom in class Extrapolation

updatePolynom

protected Polynom updatePolynom()

Updates the extrapolating polynom assuming that not only the data but also the data sums are correct. This method can be used if a speed-up calculation of the sums was possible.

Specified by:

updatePolynom in class Extrapolation

getChi2

public double getChi2()

Calculates the discrepancy as the sum of the squared residuals.

Specified by:

getChi2 in class Extrapolation

Returns:

-1. if invalid.
