Interface CurveFitter

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable

All Known Implementing Classes:

LinearCurveFitter, PolynomialCurveFitter

public interface CurveFitter
extends java.lang.Cloneable

Finds a Function that fits a set of a example points in some sense (e.g. least-squares). For example, least-squares polynomial approximation and spline interpolation are possibly implementations.
