Dimitri Pourbaix updated MATH-377:
----------------------------------
Attachment: Math377fix.diff
Patch to correct issue MATH-377. The change in getChiSquare let to a tiny
update in one of Levenberg-Marquardt unit tests.
> weight versus sigma in AbstractLeastSquares

> Key: MATH-377

> Original Estimate: 0.02h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.02h
>
> In AbstractLeastSquares, residualsWeights contains the WEIGHTS assigned to
> each observation. In the method getRMS(), these weights are multiplicative
> as they should. unlike in getChiSquare() where it appears at the denominator!
> If the weight is really the weight of the observation, it should multiply
> the square of the residual even in the computation of the chi2.
> Once corrected, getRMS() can even reduce
> public double getRMS() {return Math.sqrt(getChiSquare()/rows);}
