ParameterEstimatorIfc

interface ParameterEstimatorIfc : IdentityIfc

This interface defines a general function that uses 1-dimensional data, and estimates the parameters of some uni-variate distribution via some estimation algorithm.

The basic contract is that the returned EstimatedParameters is consistent with the required parameter estimation.

Functions

abstract fun estimateParameters(data: DoubleArray, statistics: StatisticIfc = Statistic(data)): EstimationResult

Estimates the parameters associated with some distribution. The returned EstimationResult needs to be consistent with the intent of the desired distribution. Note the meaning of the fields associated with EstimationResult
