Constructor Detail

ParabolicExtrapolation

public ParabolicExtrapolation()

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

ParabolicExtrapolation

public ParabolicExtrapolation(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()

Calculates the extrapolating polynom assuming that all values and sums are in a coherent state.

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.
