Sébastien Brisard commented on MATH-784: ---------------------------------------- The Statistical Reference Datasets from NIST provide reference values of the standard deviation of the parameters for many datasets. In {{r1332086}} these values are used to test {{guessParametersErrors()}}. > Javadoc of AbstractLeastSquaresOptimizer.guessParametersErrors() is too vague > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MATH-784 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-784 > Project: Commons Math > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.0 > Reporter: Sébastien Brisard > Assignee: Sébastien Brisard > Labels: javadoc, optimization > Fix For: 3.1 > > > This bug report follows a recent discussion available > [here|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/commons-dev/201204.mbox/%3C20120418122114.GB32074%40dusk.harfang.homelinux.org%3E]. > It is now recognized that the values returned by {{guessParametersErrors()}} > are in fact known as (asymptotic) standard errors. The javadoc should be made > more explicit. Besides, the values returned by this method should be tested. > The reference datasets from [NIST|http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/] are > to be used. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
